Hi,

You might want to use a firewall that has uPNP support, that way the
client can use webcam, voice, and remote desktop. Outside messenger useres
can connect to your clients aswell.

BUT, it is not very secure, uPNP allows the client to open ports and NAT
them thru to the client  =:()

Wonder when a virus make a use of this!
