Excuse me if this is as innocuous as it appears, but it does need a bit of clarification.

It’s a local LAN with a single layer 2 broadcast domain and the instances discovered each other quite easily, mostly, so no need for any relay.

I also note local devices report relay 1/1 but as before, no relay I’m aware of.

Thanks for any understanding you can help me gain.

Syncthing always connects to a relay if relaying is enabled, regardless of whether it’s necessary at the moment. Someone else might want to connect to us and only be able to reach the relay. If you’re using it just on a LAN, you can disable relaying.
