I have the same problem too...
I think that at least a read only version from users behind firewalls must be released at soon as possible, to avoid people lost interest in wuala in the beggining...-

its actually a little bit different with wuala:
wuala doesnt need a login (to take part in the distributing/storage/earning/rewarding/uploading processes) as soon as it has been installed and been used with a useraccount only once, simply running the wuala process takes part in the wuala network without even logging in any wuala-user any more...
when being used with multiple wuala users on the same wuala installation, wuala shares its uptime/data/traffic processes for all users that have ever been logged into that wuala installation. -

There are several approaches to this. Since Wuala needs a login anyways, The most feasable would probably creating a VPN for Wuala and thereby bypassing routers (not necessarily local firewalls tough). Using a similar structure to Hamachi (www.hamachi.cc) it should be fairly easy to asteblish connections between users who cannot forward the neccesary ports. And it hardly takes more calculations for the login-server than a plain login.
Then considering this is only used for wuala (unlike hamachi which simulates a lan) it would probably be possible to also go around the need for a network adapter and thereby also bypass the local firewall (while also keeping the app protable).
Aditionally, to ease the pain on the wuala servers, it may be considered to distribute the establishing of a vpn-tunnel between clients over all open clients which are connected.
Hope this idea is worth anything =)

nouz asked a question in Wuala on February 14, 2008 15:19:
When will we be able to access from behind a firewall ?I'm in the situation where I work on a laptop, which connection oscillates between work and home.
Basically, if I can't use wuala correctly because it's unavailable behind my workplace firewall, it's of no use to me anymore.
I know there are simple solutions that permit connexions from firewalled machine to firewalled machine, like used in e.g. skype.
(I also know skype relays are a pain in the ass for netadmins too ;) )
Wouldn't there be a way to use elegant solutions for these situations ?
I mean, if my service is hampered because I can't take advantage of my workplace connection, I'm loosing so much wuala loses all interest.
For starters, I'm still useful for non firewalled hosts, since I could be "told" by a relay to connect directly to them in case they have something to request from me. Which wouldn't cost the relays much in that case.
Second, even if I take bandwidth form relays in the firewall to firewall case, I still bring in presence regularity, which is a definite plus to lower file replication.
Most important: if I don't have that possibility, wuala is a No for me, and I'm simply gone. Loss for everyone.
So, what is your stance in the close future regardig that ?
Thanks in advance,
