question: seeding behind NAT/CGN(Carrier Grade NAT) #156

Closed elBarkey closed 8 years ago

Hi, so i spent my last 2 days to learn about hole punching. From what i've learned, a device with 3G/4G connected network is impossible to receive any inbound connection. But in torrent-stream, seeding/uploading works on 3G/4G network. Can you guys please explain how it works here ?

Thanks, el.

You can still make outbound connections and seed through those.

Ahh.. I got it.. So the logical implementation is torrent client behind CGN acting as client instead of server while they were seeding.

thank you.

Sorry I am butting in this conversation with a question that's not directly related to the repo itself but what @elBarkey said caught my attention. I am behind a Carrier Grade NAT ISP and was looking for a way to seed my torrents. Can Peerflix or torrent-stream that powers it help me seed?

Thanks!
