Connection attempt fails about crust HOT 6 CLOSED

Let me be clear that we did follow (i think) the expected process:

1. User A and B both call prepare-connection-info and exchange the key
2. User A enters connect 0 {User B data}
3. User B enters connect 0 {User A data}

Then nothing happens for about 10 seconds, and it gives ConnectFailure (not handled)

Still unable to debug this, any ideas?

Hi @pharazen I'm just testing this now so I'll get back to you with my findings

from crust.

Progress update on where I've got to with this...

• I was able to connect two peers from different networks to each other by manually opening the relevant ports on the routers that the peers were listening on. Note that I also had to edit the "for_direct" section of the connection info before pasting it into the other peer, as I only had internal IPs, so I added the external IP and port number. Connection successful.
• If UPnP is enabled on the 2 peer's routers then as far as I understand, you should be able to connect without port forwarding, as this should take care of it for you, but UPnP does not work on the 2 routers I have access to. I'm hoping to rope a couple of others who have routers with working UPnP into helping me verify this tomorrow. Will update this issue accordingly.

Note that I'm assuming you are behind a NAT, as I am.

Update - apologies, I've had no bandwidth to get back to this as yet due to other work taking priority.
