How use LOW BW CONNECT in flexradio remote link Starlink Satellite, using zerotier?

I tried to use Smarlink with Starlink satellite link but because of the CGNAT, I can't connect, dont have public ip.
Then I looked for the option with ZEROTIER and I managed to link my radio remotely, when I use Smartlink it shows me an option to connect "Low BW Connect" I think this option handles low communication speeds better,
Using zerotier the remote radio is in the same network segment then it connects with the direct option but it doesn't allow me to select "low BW Connect" since the satellite link is not very fast and I have several problems using the flexradio remotely,
Does anyone have any tips on how to do it?
Would this "low BW Connect" option help me have a more efficient remote use?
thanks in advanced

    The Low Bandwidth connection is only available in SmartLink. To reduce bandwidth requirements using a VPN, go to Display and move FPS to 5 and Rate to 1.

    This will update the screen much less frequently, leaving more bandwidth for audio. This trick also works with SmartLink.

    Thanks, I understand, but I wish we had this option on VPN networks to compensate for slow speeds. At the remote site, I can only connect via Starlink. I'm stuck, and I struggle a lot to manage it remotely.
    Perhaps it could be an option for developers in the future.

    Icyez … this would be a feature request for Low Bandwidth in a non-SmartLink connection. You should post this in the New Ideas part of the community so others can vote/comment on it.

    That would be a very good idea Icyez in my opinion.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
