If I remember correctly they added this feature right around the time they announced Stremio Web (basically their web interface/web-app).
The web-app was mainly intended for devices that cannot download the fully fledged app (coughIOS....cough). I think this "remote HTTPS connection" is related to that: You basically have the fully fledged Stremio app on one device, the limited web-app on another device, and use this remote server setting to give the web-app all the missing features as long as you have the fully fledged Stremio app running on one device. Never got it to work though.
If you want to "share" you stream to friends, you could also look into the Peario add-on. They don't need to have Stremio installed, share the Peario link, press ready and you're done. Didn't manage to get subtitles working though.
Nice, I'm glad you managed to make it work your way! For my part I'll be on the lookout for that "always on VPN" setting next time I set up something network-related, that might have been the cause of some unexplained troubleshooting sessions in the past.
Btw, after reading your post I gave Amaze another shot, but regardless of what I tried, with and without VPN, anonymous mode on/off and all that jazz, the PSV folders simply wouldn't appear. So just a heads-up, I don't really know what's going on there.
.....is what I would have said, but you underestimated the fact that I have no life whatsoever and am crying over my desk everyday!! And thanks to that I present the end-all solution version 3.0. Enter: Ghost Commander (f-droid).
Remember when I said that I looked at every open-source file manager that doesn't look like it was made in 1997? Well, Ghost Commander is a dual panel file manager with an old-school look, so imo it takes a minute getting used to it, but immediately upon opening it for the first time you'll be able to press on "FTP site" to connect to an FTP server. Under "Server", you have to input both your IP and port in this format: 178.149.5.649:2121
Then leave everything as is, press OK, and if you've deactivated that pesky VPN setting you should see your PS Vita folders on your Android phone. Here's a screenshot of how it looks on my end after changing panel view. That's all there is to it. It looks a bit clunky, but drastic times call for desperate measures, and it works!
Jokes aside, you're gonna get access to your PC in a week so you're soon gonna be able to solve this in one way or another. But you'll probably still have to move files to your PSV while on the move, and I couldn't believe there wasn't a fully open-source solution to do this, so I'm gonna post it anyways :P
