if both clients can't setup a socket to each other, then you need a file transfer proxy in the middle.
This is why the example is using proxy.ag-software.de. This is our proxy which should be used for testing only. And there is no guarantue that our proxy is working correctly all the time.
You can't setup a direct socket connection when:
Does it work for you if both clients are in the same internal network (subnet)?

You can't setup a direct socket connection when:
- One of the clients runs a firewall which blocks incoming or outgoing connections
- One or both of the clients are behind NAT (router)
Does it work for you if both clients are in the same internal network (subnet)?
