[tor-dev] Onion Services and NAT Punching



Hi All,

Do you know a use case which needs Single Onion Services and NAT punching?

Weâre wondering if there are mobile or desktop applications / services that would use a single onion service for the performance benefits, but still need NAT punching. (And donât need the anonymity of a hidden service.)

Single Onion Services:
* canât do NAT punching, (they need an ORPort on a publicly accessible IP address),
* locations are easier to discover, and
* have lower latency.

Hidden Services:
* can do NAT punching,
* locations are hard to discover, and
* have higher latency.

Are there any use cases that:
* need NAT punching, 
* donât need service location anonymity, and
* would benefit from lower latency?

Thanks

Tim
