Hi all,

Maybe this is yet another question about the evil lowID, sorry can't find an answer...

If I use Kademlia, and not E2K, do I still need an highID? Does KAD still need to listen on some port?
If yes, can I do something if I am a NATed host in a wireless network whose firewall is not administered by me? If that is the case, isn't this a too painful restriction? Isn't a way to make the peers connect one each other even when they are firewalled? For instance two loID could both connect an hiID peer and use it as a bridge.

Thanks in advance

Hi!

Yes, KAD also needs HighID (It's not called highID, in KAD status lowID=firewalled and HighID=OK or Open). If you can't configure the firewall, and for sure you can't get highID, simply connect with lowID. There will be less sources, but it will work. What you mention of connecting two lowID users via a HighID user is not implemented in aMule, but a mod of eMule called neomule has it. It's called NAT-Traversal and it works in a similar way to UDP-hole-punching.

Regards.

Request this feature in the bug tracker, maybe someone will code it soon.

I think a forum search about NAT-Traversal is in order... you two dissapoint me!
