Feature request: Automatic port forwarding option #96

Open MiMoHo opened 6 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. There are lots of situations/setups where users do not have access to the router e.g. in public networks or student dorms.

Describe the solution you'd like The node manager should have a feature to establish port forwarding automatically.

Describe alternatives you've considered Don't know any solution that doesn't require manual configuration which is not very convenient. For mass-adaption, the setup should be granny-friendly.

I would like to add that this feature should not take away the ability to use manual forwarding or customization. UPnP or websockets likely would be a workaround, but is not ideal for more secure environments.

We are planning this feature soon, and we will be putting the port status in the Status Page at a later date.
