How Skype & Co. get round firewalls


Peer-to-peer software applications are a network administrator's nightmare. In order to be able to exchange packets with their counterpart as directly as possible they use subtle tricks to punch holes in firewalls, which shouldn't actually be letting in packets from the outside world.

Increasingly, computers are positioned behind firewalls to protect systems from internet threats.

This means an attacker cannot directly adress the PC from the outside - connections have to be established from the inside.
