Syncthing can bounce traffic via a *relay* when it's not possible to establish
a direct connection between two devices. There are a number of public relays
available for this purpose. The advantage is that it makes a connection
possible where it would otherwise not be; the downside is that the transfer
rate is much lower than a direct connection would allow. When connected via a
relay, Syncthing will periodically retry a direct connection.

Relaying is enabled by default.
Relaying is enabled by default but will only be used if two devices are unable
to communicate directly with each other. When connected via a relay, Syncthing
will periodically retry a direct connection and, if one is established, stop
communicating via the relay.
