Hi there,
not totally true, it's quite easy. You can configure your client to listen on
1 specific port, disable UPNP, and tell it to advertise itself on the same port
number . Then punch a hole from your firewall device straight to your client
on that port (both tcp + udp) and you'll be connected QUITE well that way. you
may not make it to ultrapeer in every run, but you just may after a while ;).
