      ## You probably don't want to be directly connectable (circumventing the VPN)
      ## If you want to be connectable, you have to use a VPN that allows port forwarding (you don't have to connectable for most things, except if you use private trackers)
      ## This didn't do much anyway cause you didn't allow the ports in the firewall using ADDITIONAL_PORTS
