Well, i can only say last time i used PGPfone was in 2014, with a friend. We both used a website that showed us our IP addresses and it worked fine. We only had to set UDP port 17447 in our routers, for incoming and outgoing connections. I currently have no Windows box, otherwise i would try it out again and let you know.
