21- *  CoachProxy's e-mail notification, remote access VPN service, and
22-   software update service depend on access to a cloud-based management
23-   server. These features have been removed in CoachProxy** OS**  to eliminate
24-   that dependency and ensure CoachProxyOS can run as a stand-alone device.

27- *  CoachProxy requires the installation of a second, external WiFi
28-   adapter, while CoachProxyOS removes this requirement. CoachProxy uses
29-   one adapter to create a private hotspot which a user connects to from
30-   their browser, and from there configures the other adapter to connect to
31-   their local WiFi network. This adds significant complexity to the
32-   software and removing it for a DIY effort greatly simplifies the
33-   project. With CoachProxyOS, the WiFi configuration must be done by
34-   editing a file on the boot partition of the operating system image.
