Sergio,

Speak Freely can only in part adress this problem. 

Read the docs, there is a switch for "NAT" that COULD help
if only you sit behind a firewall. 

Also browse through this forum, the problem has discussed here often

If both sides sit behind a (NAT) firewall, you have to 
make changes (makes holes into) the firewall. If the
admins say no: mission impossible for speak freely.
