Windows Firewall / Connect command (wodVPN)

Sorry guys, need to spam the board again.

1.) I was under the impression that wodVPN goes through most firewalls out of the box. When I try it on Windows Server 2003 Standard (the only remote machine I currently have access to) it is always asking me to add a firewall exception / unblock the connection. Although this is just one click, it would be nicer to not have this thing. Teamviewer seems to be working without quite well.

2.) In your example I need to press a button to call the connect command. What if I like to fully automate the connection process. Both sides need to search (right?) but should both sides call connect when their search has ended? Or is it fine/better (and goes through NAT on both sides) when just one side connects? What is best practise here / your recommendations?

Thanks!
