Yes! My mistake for that implication. Automatically using LAN is what impressed me the most, but it transfers over networks and, because it relies on outbound HTTP connections, bypasses many firewalls.

I do not know if it uses NAT hole-punching, but it has always been relatively fast at transferring data considering that it's a free service.

Ha, no you're good you mentioned it i just dont know too much about the topic so i wanted to confirm i was reading it correctly, but thank you for the further details!
