I have never seen any situation where this is not already necessary other than UPnP which already almost never works reliably. A publicly-addressable relay is already practically non-negotiable for anything over the internet.
- lern_too_spel 7mo agoIPv6 everywhere makes that not necessary, which is what the author is pushing for.
- lmm 7mo agouPnP works fine though? What was the problem you had with it?

- vel0city 7mo agouPnP fails when multiple devices are fighting over the same port assignments. uPnP fails when people have it disabled, as has been recommended many times over the years.
