[Docs/Usage] Can client and server run on the same machine? #2

Description

@One2Year

Background

A user wants to run both the server and the client on the same computer, using different local ports, and then configure a browser / proxy tool to connect to the local client.

Observed behavior

  • Initial attempts triggered protocol parsing errors on the server side
  • Historical comments show that the setup can work, but the required recv mode and proxy-tool configuration were not documented clearly

Expected behavior

  • Running client and server on the same machine should be supported as long as they listen on different ports
  • The required startup commands and proxy configuration should be documented clearly

Suggested follow-up

  • Add a README example for same-machine deployment
  • Clarify when to use -recv http vs -recv socks5
  • Add a minimal verification example with browser / proxy-tool settings

Related context

  • Historical workaround in comments used -recv socks5
  • Follow-up docs work is still tracked in README TODO
