Good reading, thanks.

But there's that word again, "server".

The forum user's request is for pure P2P communication between phones. 
He's willing to use a third device as a server for sharing IP addresses, 
but for reasons I haven't yet discerned prefers not to use a server for 
actual comms, wants those phone-to-phone.


As a side note, the earlier suggestion that every app that's granted 
permission to make outgoing requests also has privileges to open ports 
for incoming connections kinda freaks me out.  Any suggestions for good 
software on non-rooted phones for monitoring app network activity?
