This is the rub. tp-link clearly /want/ the consumer to use their "cloud" service - which is usually just a fancy codeword for 'we want your data'. There's no actual /need/ that I can see in this case.

I use tor to give me a globally unique name where I can access my stuff behind NAT as a Tor hidden service.
I've been thinking that perhaps I might be able to use yggdrasil to get a ipv6 address to do the same, without the latency of tor.
Has anyone tried it, or have some other methodology that does not depend on dyndns or similar web sites?
