Thank you for the clarification. These points are indeed very similar to my thoughts (but I wouldn't have been able to describe it so to the point. )
I like to think I managed to represent the Musk-like interaction in my previous reply; responding to your well built message with a snarky comment. Although, I think, I went too far with the dual interpretations.
I didn't get that. So this part needed some explaining for me.
Why is your reply being down-voted
Maybe it is because I missed the sarcasm/ humour in your response. It's hard to know if it isn't written down as a response. :)
You might be confusing public IP addresses with ports?
I mean publicly addressable address like in: not in a private network where SNAT/ masquerading is in place between the torrent-client's host and the Internet.
It was mentioned, that no port forwarding is in place.
Not sure why you would sometimes see your status as fully connectable
One side of the connection needs a public address, not both. When both parties don't have a publicly addressable IP, the status is firewalled. I guess.
It doesn't have to be limbo for everyone.
Imagine if the manager stepped up for the employees, set the frame to work in and the right aims to achieve, used the strengths of his or her employees, took responsibility... things could be (more) fulfilling for everyone.
Your tent? It's Kyras tent for the time being. I'm sorry.
