Have made this using occasional threads like this one and update it when I find some new tool.
Works pretty good for my use cases.
EDIT: Oh, this was already mentioned... sorry.
I wonder if it's an IPv6 issue? My two devices might have shown up to the server as two different IPv6 addresses, not the same NATed IPv4 address.
