Test if your network supports peer-to-peer file transfers
Check if your network can establish direct peer-to-peer connections using STUN.
Best case scenario. Any external host can send packets once you've sent one packet to any destination.
Works with: Everyone
Good compatibility. External hosts can send packets only if you've previously sent to their IP.
Works with: Most networks
Moderate compatibility. Requires matching both IP and port from previous outbound connection.
Works with: Some networks
Poor compatibility. Uses different ports for each destination. Common on cellular networks.
Requires: TURN relay
Usually works great! Most home routers use Restricted or Port Restricted NAT.
Often uses Symmetric NAT. May have trouble with P2P connections.
May block P2P entirely or use Symmetric NAT for security.
Policies vary widely. Some allow P2P, others restrict it heavily.
