Can NAT traversal be Tor's killer feature? (2014)

It's easier to setup a Tor hidden service than it is to set up a server with a domain. You don't have to know anything about DNS or firewalls. I'm surprised that they aren't more common.

Yes, that's what I like about it, too. All of my machine got its own .onion address so I have a static name I can connect whether I am in home or Starbucks connected to their Wi-fi.

(And since I set HiddenServiceAuthorizeClient, random people just knowing the address won't be able to connect.)

It works great and I stopped port forwarding my home network while ago...

Is it? I've never been able to find a 'how to' or tutorial on starting a hidden service, but even with limited skills I could set up a domain and server in my lunch hour.
