I’m interested, although I’m not sure I understand. Isn’t the point of poking holes to enable clients to connect when obscured by NAT? Does voip still work with this?

That would probably the best practice. But as another post said, I don’t trust myself (and I lack the skills, although that’s pretty lame excuse).

I use newsboat as well, though often feel like giving up on rss too—just too much stuff coming in even after unsubscribing to lots.
