Otherwise they would go ask Allstar what IP address to use, and you would end up trying to use your outside IP address like any other nodes on the system. Private nodes are there since they would never be in the main Allstar directory.</div><div>BTW, If you wanted an offsite friend to be able to connect to your private node, he would have to add an entry in his [nodes] stanza with your IP address.</div><div><br></div><div> </div><br><div><div>On Jun 23, 2012, at 11:58 AM, Alan Adamson wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;
