Does the host know ahead of time where the clients are? If so you can
have the host listen on port 80 and set up a firewall to only let
those clients initiate connections to the host.

TCP connections are already bi-directional so I'm not sure I
understand that part of the requirement.

I ask to see if there is an existing graceful way of user-initiated bidirectional connectivity that helps bypass firewalls and other less user-friendly circumstances? Otherwise, this may require a new external...
