Description

Currently both the client and server need open ports for successful communication. Since most home-level connections come with port restrictions, and because you can basically do everything inside a single TCP connection, remove the need of a client having an open TCP port.

I agreed with Cobrian that a temporarly solution using TcpChannel + SSH tunnel (controlled by smux) is acceptable to solve firewall and NAT issues. In the long term the TcpChannel itself should be smarter or be replaced by something else.
