LRP makes it pretty easy. However a router is easier still. Of course it
complicates Freenet and just about any other P2P having a NAT device...
and if you get a router, get a good one, because the crap ones can't
cope with Freenet... anyway the original poster probably isn't even
subscribed and therefore can't see any of this :).
