That's super interesting. I still don't quite understand how others connect to it though. I guess from a user's perspective it just looks like a normal server? Or do they have to install this ISP-replacing software too?

It's literally just replacing the link layer of the TCP/IP stack. If you've got a connection to the main internet, then it's as transparent as whatever stuff the ISPs use internally.
