[Interest] How does using `-platform offscreen` affect network communication?

Hi,

I've a script [1] which starts a client program (mumble) with the
`-platform offscreen` flag to connect to a local (mumble) server.
But for some users [2], the client does not connect to the server
if the flag is used, otherwise it connects. For me, offscreen is
working since a long time, so it probably isn't a bug in the client
software.

What could be the reason it is not connecting offscreen? How does
using offscreen platform affect network communication?

Thanks,
Siddh
