yes, you are right. STUN requires the client to contact a STUN server to be 
able to learn its "official" ip address. However, a lot of tools use STUN so 
you cannot determine if a freenet client connects to a STUN server or a VoIP 
application.
Additionally, I could add a switch to the config file to en-/disable the 
STUN-support depending on the user's preference.

Greetings,
Thomas
