You can also set up/use existing TURN server.
There was a blog post about it:
https://jami.net/establishing-peer-to-peer-connections-with-jami/

Would be cool if someone added to Jami something like GNUnet or Tor

Eventually you can buy your friends a better router with sane
configuration for birthday or burn ISPs to the ground and create user
controlled mesh network :)
