### Sharing stuff
To make sure your stuff gets shared across IPFS peers well, you need to make
sure your ipfs-daemon listening on 4001/tcp port is accessible from the WAN.
Either configure your router to foward the traffic coming to 4001/tcp to your
internal server/pc where your ipfs-daemon is running or just punch a port using
the UPnP protocol like this:
```
$ sudo apt-get -y install miniupnpc
$ upnpc -r 4001 tcp
```
> Your IGD (router/GW) must support UPnP for this to work.
After that you should see lots of traffic is coming to your port 4001/tcp:
```
sudo tcpdump -qenn -i eno1 src port 4001 and not src host 192.168
```
And ipfs reports lots of peers (>100 peers):
```
ipfs swarm peers
```
Then, when you've shared some stuff via the IPFS, you can try accessing it via
any available public IPFS gateway (see link below).
It should return the content you've shared quickly.
