teo@amd:~$ dat-doctor
Welcome to Dat Doctor!

Software Info:
  linux x64
  Node v12.16.2

Running Basic Tests (Checks your Dat installation and network setup)

Your network may be preventing you from using Dat.

Is there any port I should open on my router to forward directory to my computer?

dat-doctor is giving the same error:

✖ Who am I?
    ERROR: Could not detect public ip / port

even on a server with public IP address! :-(

@brailateo dat-doctor is deprecated, that's why it is removed from npm install -g dat@next

[brailateo]

@okdistribute OK, good to know! :-) I hope that it should be removed from all docs, it confuses people!
So the next question is "Dat Desktop is in sync with dat@next?"
Because the last time I tried a sync I used "Dat Desktop", I give it another try!

Test 1
I tried right now with dat 14.0.2 used at command line, to publish (behind a home router) a dat, cannot clone on the other side, even on a server with public addres. :-(

Test 2
Tried publishing from the server with public address and cloning on the desktop behind the home router. It worked! :-)

So, the last question is:

Is (or would it be) able dat to sync directories from any computer behind home routers directly, with STUN like coordination or through DAT nodes relaying (or TURN), like in WebRTC video chat. without forwarding ports from the routers?

Thanks for your help!
Teo
