 Yes, it uses a lot of techniques I'm well familiar with, techniques that don't really work anymore.  Like STUN.  Mobile networks especially, you're just gonna end up sending all that traffic through a turn relay (which is fine).

 many mobile networks work p2p, mobiles also have wifi, starlink lol

there will be nsa datacenter peers to use, its what american tax victims pay for
