The reasoning is, given that implementations of NAT traversal + protocols within common consumer grade routers are frequently buggy, and + that the target audience for a NAT punching feature is a perhaps + less-technically-inclined relay operator, when the helper fails to setup + traversal the problems are usually deep, ugly, and very router specific, + making them horrendously impossible for technical support to reliable + assist with, and thus resulting in frustration all around. Unfortunately, + relay operators who would like to run relays behind NATs will need to + become more familiar with the port forwarding configurations on their + local router. Closes 25409.
