Another issue - in what way I can establish the connection on XCaramba *over the Internet*, if my computer is behind router, on private LAN IP address (like 192.168.0.10) , and my friend's computer is also behind his own router, on his private LAN, with similar private LAN IP address - so on both computers XCaramba only shows those private LAN IP addresses - but for any connections and transfers over tthe Internet it must be public WAN IP addresses?

"XCaramba wants to connect to srv4.b-one.net on TCP port 80 (http)" - Allow/Deny? etc"
Quick check shows that srv4.b-one.net resolves into IP address 195.47.247.43, and reverse DNS points back to srv4.b-one.net, and that XCaramba developer's site www.xybernic.com points to the same IP address 195.47.247.43
In case the developer just wanted to get some statistics on XCaramba, I must stress that there's other, *ethical* ways of doing that (as opposed to adware/spyware ways), like for example a user-configurable software option "allow XCaramba to send anonymous usage statistics to developer" that shows first by itself after XCaramba launch etc.
Maybe XCaramba is a great program - but, after this small incident, I just lost the desire to proceed with the testing.
