will this work behind a mobile network NAT? #80

I assume it depends on the IPFS pub sub implementation, but as the users, you might know best - can you set up an orbitDB on two mobile network clients and store and read items freely?

uriva commented 6 years ago

Couldn't get the demo to work when one client is listening from a mobile network. Also then started getting websocket error on both the desktop and mobile client.

You should be able to. Unless something is blocking IPFS from connecting to the network

uriva commented 6 years ago

But if I'm subscribed to a feed, shouldn't I get incoming connections?

uriva commented 6 years ago

Actually now tested the MVC demo and it seems to work.

uriva commented 6 years ago

Still would be good to understand why incoming connections aren't required - I thought that I'm running a full node of ipfs that needs to get requests for files sometimes.

Glad to find this thread. I am trying to use ipfs in my android, and maybe use orbit-db too. But I am not sure if orbit-db is supported in android device, or other mobile devices? For most of the data is generated by user from mobile device, if we can't use it directly with our mobile device, it is quite a pity. What I am trying to do is use sqlite db in the mobile, and store the sqlite db database in ipfs network. But I think it would be great if orbit-db supports this.

@rogerlzp browser or app?
