Or port forwarding. You have to open a udp port for wireguard

Technically you can nat punch with wire guard

How do I learn this power? Don't you still need at least one server exposed?

Afaik you need some external resource to coordinate the punch. The STUN protocol is purpose built for this, and both clients need to be able to reach a STUN server to coordinate which port and public IP they'll try to connect to each other on. I assume this does something similar but with p2p network tech instead of a STUN server.
