[Opensim-dev] STUN for OpenSim?

[Mojito Sorbet]

If you are running OpenSim behind a NAT router, you are going to have to
configure the routing in some way, regardless of whether STUN, or even
TCP, is used.  That is because the connection is originating outside of
the firewall, and the whole purpose of firewalls is to not let that
happen, except in carefully prescribed circumstances.  Same thing
applies to VOIP.

The problem of people not being able to find your IP address has already
been solved by services such as DynDNS.
