- lawl 12y ago> Simply put, this is a proxy server that works behind a NAT, even when the client is behind a different NAT, without any 3rd party or network changes. > There is no middle man, no proxy, no 3rd party, no UPnP/STUN/ICE required, no spoofing, and no DNS tricks. http://samy.pl/pwnat/ http://samy.pl/pwnat/ The FAQ is great too :) Ok, so does this really work? Yes. Try it! I'm confused. This can't work. You should be, and it does work. But it can't. My NAT blocks incoming packets and so will the other. I know.

- abcd_f 12y agoIt's clever, but not exactly relevant to the GP's comment. pwnat requires the initiator to know the IP of the target host, so some form of external seeding is still required.
