My Embassy is really hot! Is this normal?
------------------------------------------
Yes, the Embassy's case is actually doing 'double duty' as a heat sync. This means that the metal of the case is actually touching the chips on the circuit board and drawing their heat out and away. This is known as "passive cooling," as no fan (and therefore no noise) is required to cool the system.
On early devices, yes. These cases are actually doing 'double duty' as a heat sync. This means that the metal of the case is actually touching the chips on the circuit board and drawing their heat out and away.

You can check the chip temperature of your device under "System -> Metrics".

--------------------------------------------
A major use-case of Bonjour is wireless printing over the LAN, but your Windows machine can also use Bonjour to discover and connect with other devices on the :ref:`Local Network<lan>`. In this case your Embassy. If Windows were to add support for reaching ``.local`` addresses, as is done in Linux and Mac, this would no longer be necessary.
Recent updates to Windows 10 (and possibly 11) may obviate the need for Bonjour, but so far results are mixed.

What if I have an unique network issue, for example, with a firewall?

Embassy is designed to work as simply as possible, for as many as possible, while providing the ability to self-host in a private manner. If you have an agressive or custom firewall, or other custom network settings, there is a good chance that addtional configuration may be necessary. We will continue to learn about custom networking issues, update our docs with resources, and help in the :ref:`Community Channels <contact>` to the best of our ability.

Can I use my Embassy from behind a VPN, for example, if my router has a built-in VPN?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While this is possible, it adds complexity, which may lead to problems. You will need to understand the setup of your router/VPN and how it supports (or doesn't support) Tor/LAN connections.

If you are having trouble with this, you might consider letting Embassy out "in the clear," since all services are accessible over the Tor network, offering a high level of privacy.

Is it true that my device has some limited functionality in regard to Embassy?

The short answer is maybe, but there are workarounds for most limitations. Please see the :ref:`Limitations<limitations>` page for details on your device.
