I think you're going to need to be more clear on what you want here. I understand that you are accessing your server externally, probably through port forwarding, and prefer the local address when on the same network. What are you changing when switching networks?

Your router should be doing the hairpin thing and routing back to your LAN if you're straight requesting your internet IP address, but if you're using some DDNS thing then yeah that'll slow you down a tad.

You can do what I used to do, keep separate shortcuts for "LOCAL" & "AWAY" that point to your different addresses.

u r on the wrong way to understand :)

Server UI = an UI with a dropdown menu for change / select an server address (in/out). if i use it extern i need to connect and enter an address and enter the credentials (same if i change to intern) > dropdown menu with addresses or saved profiles like home / extern / intern / ... [home > urlIntern | out > urlExtern | ... ]

I understand now, and suggest changing the title to something like "Remember Previous Connections" or similar. And I agree, this would be a nice feature.

I think this was implemented in the latest release, if you click logout in the app you're presented with a list of servers and you can change among them.

Multiple server configs is in v0.9.41-beta

I also like the idea of setting a home network config that will be automatically switched to when entering your home network, but we can put this in another feature request.
