[Fiware-incense-coaching] Question on NAT dependency with IoT

[Ridha Azaiz]

Hello,

I read about Idas and Figway for IoT devices,

and in a blog post (Step 3.1) problems are mentioned that occur
behind a NAT when using Figway:

https://www.fiware.org/tag/figway/

Where as in a "native IDAS implementation" the NAT problem is not mentioned:

https://www.fiware.org/devguides/connection-to-the-internet-of-things/how-to-read-measures-captured-from-iot-devices/

So would NAT be only a problem when using Figway when not using / having
a router to configure?

In case the NAT problem also is there in the above implementation, a
workaround might be a VPN or a "reversed SSH tunnel".
Albeit for VPN it might have to be a be an openVPN protocol as
Microsoft's protocol can be complicit to NAT rules i believe to have read.

I investigate how to realize an IoT implementation most independent from
infrastructure so it can be moved in different environments/networks
without new configuration.
