[Dxspider-support] Spots rejected if connected from local network

[Christopher Schlegel]

Rudy,

When trying to recreate Andrea's issue, I did just that. Problem is, most
routers will recognize that the MAC addresses are both locally available
and keep the traffic internal. Which is exactly what happened when I tried
to connect to my WAN address.

I've had this problem before with self hosted services. I ended up using a
cloud VM or a buddies network to test with.
