clients use uPNP to negociate with routers and open a port without you
manually configuring it. This is better because it is automated and because
the port can be closed when the app is not launched.

There is a hack called "pwnat" which can be used to do this. It involves the
2 sides sending packets to each other and leading the routers/firewalls to
think each of them is a client.

Would it be possible to add this uPNP or pwnat functionality to BeShare?
