1. **We have one bootstrap node on aws**
2. **Two computers on the same LAN and one public computer**
3. **All (4 nodes) share the same swarm.key and disabled firewall**
4. **3 nodes directly connect to bootstrap node**

**Our problem is**

**Two/all nodes LAN can see each others BUT all peers in public cannot see each others (ipfs ping, ipfs swarm connect)**

**So is it IPFS limitation or our setup problem? Please help us**

It’s most likely a network issue. You’ll need to make sure the nodes are reachable on port 9096
