Grats, you have a semi-useful router. Do you want a cookie? Anecdotal evidence that things appear to be working fine isn't all that helpful here. Basically, there should be code to deal with relays running behind things on lists like this: https://wiki.vuze.com/w/Bad_routers#Due_to_.28too.29_many_connections So they don't do horrible things to the network. If your router is working, then great, it meets what should be a minimum standard of usefulness. -- Yawning Angel
