Dear author, I'm a new comer in the P2P filed. I very like your kademlia and help me learn the pricinple of P2P network. But I have some problems: In the real scene of P2P, node is behind NAT and I couldn't get its real IP. I dont know how to use server.bootstrap([bootstrap_node]), its arg must be node's IP.

You must have at least one node that is not behind a NAT. Any other nodes (even if they are behind a NAT) will be able to connect to that node.
