Question re: usage

[trzy]

Hi,

I’m trying to test this out but am a little confused by intended usage. Should this be able to work to connect two clients behind the same NAT?

I’ve set up the server to run on my desktop and am forwarding port 6776. I can bring up the client on the same or another machine at home and when I enter the public IP, I see that the server receives messages (I’ve added logging to confirm).

However, punching fails. Shouldn’t it be possible to test with even just one client because the sample client spawns both a listener thread and then actually attempts the hole punch?

Thank you!

Note: I understand that hole punching is useful for connecting two machines behind different NATs but I’m just doing some initial testing within a single network.

You don't need to punch the NAT for same network usage, so no this will not work.

Understood — can the server run on the same network as one of the clients, however? Trying to understand how many different NATs are required for testing.
