It may not be as easy as with Vim, but it is certainly possible.  I have
the following in my configuration:

  (use-package flyspell
    :config
    (setq ispell-program-name "hunspell")
    ;; Configure German and GB English.
    (setq ispell-dictionary "de_DE,en_GB")
    ;; ispell-set-spellchecker-params has to be called
    ;; before ispell-hunspell-add-multi-dic will work
    (ispell-set-spellchecker-params)
    (ispell-hunspell-add-multi-dic "de_DE,en_GB")
    :hook
    ((text-mode . flyspell-mode)
     (prog-mode . flyspell-prog-mode)))

What do you mean by 'through web'?  Do you mean via SSH?  And what are
the problems with 'C-n' and 'C-p'?

I guess you mean 'Tramp' and are suggesting that it can cause Emacs to
hang?  I don't use tramp much these days, except for occasionally
editing files within containers, but I would be slightly surprised if
there were a fundamental problem with Tramp.  I always found the
maintainer, Michael Albinus, to be very helpful and dedicated to sorting
issues out.

I am not sure why SSH/Tmux is an alternative to Emacs.  I assume you a
referring to logging onto systems which don't have Emacs.  Luckily all
my remote systems do, so I use SSH/Tmux and Emacs :-)

Cheers,

Loris
