A common hack used by P2P software is a method called holepunching. This is used to bypass NAT.
When a network uses NAT, you are unable to connect to a computer within the network, from outside of the network, thus making it impossible to make P2P connections.
Say you have two computers, A and B, located in different parts of the world, both behind NAT.
To establish a P2P connection A and B will connect to a Stratus server. This connection will open a port in A and B’s routers. The stratus server will know these port numbers and will share this information with A and B. A and B can then make a connection to each others open ports thus establishing the P2P connection.
