Remote example

[ETeissonniere]

Hi, I can see all the examples in this repo are working with local addresses, any ways to make them work with remote ones? I mean, running them on two separated networks.

@developpsoft it should work out of the box. Did you try it?

Yes, maybe I am missing something? The examples works fine but I would be interested in making them work in "P2P" not just local. Le 19 août 2017 7:40 PM, "David Dias" <[email protected]> a écrit :

So, they generally "just work" on computers in the same network. Unfortunately, if both machines are behind NATs, they won't be able to connect to each other at the moment. We're currently working on NAT traversal (specifically, relays) but they're a work in progress.

If you want to try out relays, checkout the examples in https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-circuit-progs. Currently, they require manually specifying the relay (and the relay can't be behind a NAT) but @vyzo is working working on that.

Oh ok I see. Thanks for explaining 😄

I think I can close that then
