Yep, tunneling is way more secure than direct p2p. Especially if you run the service inside some sort of sandbox/container/VM which is possible on all major OSes these days.
Here’s the attack:
- You want to get to A
- And you’re on a device B that has access to hole-punch-as-a-service but no direct access to A. Good network administrator / sysadmin!
- Attack NDP (ie ARP spoofing but IPv6 flavored) to trick the firewall just for a moment that you’re A [1] and request the port be opened to your evil server C on the public internet.
- Oops.
