Add NAT traversal support (Was: Do I have to have a static IP to use this?)

Opened this issue · 2 comments

Congrats on bringing such a cool project to the node community.
Is it possible to get this running on a consumer connection with a dynamic IP?

If you want to use it on the web, then yes, since it has no NAT tunneling support. I have never actually used it on the web, only on local networks. There are no immediate plans to add NAT traversal.

Thanks for the prompt response!

I've been looking at a similar project that does this though it looks pretty beta-ish:

I may try to implement something with libcage myself.
