Networking isn't always as easy as it should be: Ever tried to let a colleague connect toan HTTP or SSH server running on your Mac when you're in your home network behind your NATrouter? Or to work together on a document in SubEthaEdit? Or get good download rates inyour favorite BitTorrent client? Without port forwardings, it just won't work, but static port mappings that you can set upin your router are cumbersome to use, only work with static IP addresses and are lost whenyou buy a new router. Not so with Lighthouse. Being a dynamic port forwarding utility, starting and stoppingport mappings is just a click away. Or even better, let Lighthouse start a port forwardingautomatically when you launch an application! Want to use a port mapping on your desktop and later on your laptop? Static mappings justwon't cut it, but Lighthouse will! And living in your menu bar, it's always there, rightat your fingertips!
