* It is recommended to run ALVR via encrypted tunnel (VPN) over the internet. In case VPN is not an option, access to ALVR streamer (UDP ports 9943 and 9944) should be restricted by Windows Firewall (only connections from known IP addresses of ALVR clients should be allowed) and ALVR streamer should not be left running unattended.
* **Warning!** SteamVR allows to control desktop from VR headset (i.e. a **malicious ALVR client could take over the PC**).
* As the license states ALVR IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND (see the file `LICENSE` in this GitHub repository for legal text/definition). You are on your own (especially if you run ALVR over the Internet without VPN).
