AI Gateway providers are only routed to the Pangolin server nodes. Sites

targets on providers. DNS resolution of gateway resources will not point at
remote nodes. Users using gateway resources with custom targets on sites may
wish to create a separate org for these resources so sites are able to
connect to regular nodes.

### Automatic Updates and Less Maintenance
The cloud dashboard evolves quickly, so you get new features and bug fixes without having to manually pull new containers every time. Because the remote node is just handling the networking you do not need to do database migrations, or backups.

### Better Bandwidth
Since all tunnel traffic flows through your own server, you benefit from your own network's bandwidth capacity. This means you are not constrained by shared cloud infrastructure limits - if your server has high-throughput connectivity, your tunnels will too.
