Well, sure. That goes with everything, you aren't implementing your own TCP stack for making a simple HTTP server response. The claimed simplicity is in dev tim

Well, sure. That goes with everything, you aren't implementing your own TCP stack for making a simple HTTP server response. The claimed simplicity is in dev time, not in protocol implementation for all layers.
- SahAssar 8y agoSure, but "tor’s simple utility for punching through nat" (although said by the parent and only agreed by you) makes it sound like NAT hole punching is now simple, universal and stable. If it is all those three via TOR's utility I'd love it, but I'm guessing it is neither or just one.

It is all three, but it's not technical NAT hole punching as much as just connecting to relays. So any device that can call out to the internet can setup a local onion service, similar to how those localhost-to-public-address dev tunnels work.
