Could you explain the goal of this, and how it actually attains this? It just doesn't seem clear what the client and server are here, nor what the "local server" is behind that needs piercing.
Is this to, say, expose a server sitting behind a NAT to the rest of the world, or...?
- isp 7y agoI'm not the author, but I _think_ this is similar to what you can do via "ssh -R" (SSH remote port forwarding) - but generalised to UDP too. Scenario: - You have a Linode VM running, accessible to everyone on the Internet - You run Mr.2 server on this Linode VM - On your home laptop (behind NAT), you run Mr.2 client, pointing it at your Mr.2 server on the Linode VM - Now, from anywhere in the world, you can connect to your home laptop via the Linode server ... I think.
