Hi, gtkg's UDP firewall detection doesn't work correct. I'm running as a leaf node. When I connect to a new UP, gtkg detects that I'm not UDP-firewalled and a yellow smiley appears. So apparently the firewall state is tested on a new UP connect. But when I leave it running unattended for several hours, so that it is connected to some very stable UPs, it suddenly starts thinking that I'm UDP-firewalled. From now on, my searches will be sent without the OOB flag, which is quite sub-optimal IMO.
Three possible solutions come into my mind: 1. Is there any way to repeat the firewall test every once in a while? This could be used to refresh the firewall assumption. 2. There could be a config switch saying: "I know that I'm really not UDP-firewalled, I know what I'm doing, force-enable UDP/OOB!", overriding the automatic detection. 3. The solution could come as a side-effect of a completely other issue: I was always thinking that GTKG needs a way to steadily "evolve" the quality of its gnet connection by regularly seeking new UP connections and then dropping the connection with the lowest "quality" (of whatever measure). As this includes new UP connections at a regular basis, a side-effect would be a regular refresh of the UDP-firewall assumption.
