[Gambas-user] UDP hole punching

[Mayost Sharon]

Yes that's how it works

In TCP it seems more complicated
Because in our tools within GAMBAS it is not possible to send to the destination and the remote port before you create a connection.
Or maybe it's not related to GAMBAS
Because that's how TCP works

But I have seen articles that say yes it can be done directly through IPV4
