Description
Hello, i have a host pc on which you cannot open ports and client on which you can open ports. In short the basic idea is ability to switch the socket roles, make the host pc connect to the client instead of client to the host for streaming and input only. So that you can use hamachi or whatever software for "hub" that tells the openstream-server on host pc that client x wants it to connect to it. It would add no extra latency unlike what im doing now..
Issue: Currently i'm using hamachi for all, including streaming & input which adds extra latency (like 50ms)

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating how the host and client establish their sockets, then determine how a host-initiated connection could support streaming and input; done means the host can connect to the client through a hub such as Hamachi without routing the stream through it.
