WebSocket Service

If your machine runs a WebSocket server, you can access it over the VPN
connection, or you can access it without you first needing to establish a
VPN connection to your device by setting it up as a service.
StrideLinx Cloud will act as a proxy for the WebSocket connection between your computer,
that is running a WebSocket client, and the machine that is running the WebSocket server.
