had the same idea a while back and was pondering how I would get past NAT if you are on a mobile network. does it work there as well? I'm assuming it will continue to work as long as your carrier doesnt block the respective ports.
also, don't take this personally - but if you're looking at targeting a broader crowd, you might have to update the UI to make it look more like traditional social apps.
- fulafel 14y agoThere are IETF standardized NAT traversal mechanisms, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STUN#NAT_traversal_solutions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STUN#NAT_traversal_solutions I don't know how widespread NAT is on mobile networks, my operator just started using it and I've been meaning to switch.. not a real internet connection anymore IMO. And lots of people are doing self-inflicted NAT on their home wifi. So it might actually be that mobile connections are less likely to be NATted.
