Ahh, my background in decentralized P2P systems engineering, along with the phrase &quot;Foscam admits that disabling the P2P option doesn’t actually do anything to stop the device from seeking out other P2P hosts online (see screenshot below).&quot; lead me to believe they were using a DHT or other decentralized P2P system.  I&#x27;d need more details to determine if they use a set of centralized coordination hosts or if they use a DHT or other decentralized system for the hosts coordinating the hole punching.
