- Review autonat and hole punching code:
- autonat:
- we have implemented 1.0.0 version of specs; available via
withAutonat on SwitchBuilder
- missing the most recent is 2.0.0 version -
go-libp2p has that implemented
- hole punching:
- there is service that implements this logic and there is test for service;
- no support via
SwitchBuilder to enable hole punching. it can be added manually to SwitchBuilder using withServices method.

- Modified run.py to do live status reporting
