WebRTC can be used a server fashion. We opened a library that does just that: https://blog.rainway.io/real-time-communication-for-everyone...

Unfortunately not applicable. The problem is a user with a regular desktop browser open and has the ip address of the device (on the same subnet). They have to type something into the browser address bar.

As far as I can tell, there is no way they could type something like webrtc://1.2.3.4 and would have to type something beginning with http or https. It can't be the latter because of signing issues, so we are still stuck with http.
