If you're running it on the router you're not really behind it so yes it
would be a matter of just opening a port... I'm behind a grey box with
flashing lights on it and my node believes that its IP address is
192.168.0.3 :-(

Port forwarding is only half the solution. I have a hole in my firewall at
19114 forwarded to 192.168.0.3:19114 but no node trying to reach me will
ever get this far if my node doesn't put the router's (genuine, internet
visible) IP address in outgoing messages instead of 192.168.0.3
