Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, i am using a cloudflare tunnel to expose my server as i am behind CGNAT. if i want to use audiobookshelf remotely, i have to connect to my serever by putting in its address on the setup screen. When i am at home, instead of connecting to the server locally, the data is routed via the cloudflare tunnel.

Describe the solution you'd like

Local/Remote Support - allow users to provide 2 different address to the same server one for local use and other for remote. Switch to local address when when you are connected to your home wifi (which can be choosen at your initial setup or subsequently).

Describe alternatives you've considered

Allow to connect to 2 different servers

Additional context

I would like to do this so that i can download the audiobook when i am at home, elimanating the need to go via cloudflare tunnel - which has bandwith restriction, and when i play them on the move, only the sync data needs to be sent via the tunnel.

There is a android app called nzb360 which does this - a free trial is available on the playstore if you want to see how it is implemented.
