It would be great if there would be a way to access the Internet or at least proxy HTTP requests from the VM via the browser. Is that anything you are working on soon?

CORS limitations make it effectively impossible to use native browser HTTP support from the VM. We tried at length to find better solutions, but Tailscale was in the end the only viable option. We wrote at length about this: https://leaningtech.com/webvm-virtual-machine-with-networking-via-tailscale/

It is possible to use a self-hosted headscale setup, we offer that as an alternative solution to commercial users.

Okay, thanks, that makes sense! 😊
