Others not seeing your latency would be an indication that ports
are blocked. We all see our *own* latency as N/A though.

| have one more question:

| green(latency up to 200) they didnt see me at all(latency N/A), in fact I did
| not see my own latency.
| This mean anything to you? I ask this becouse i'll be more able to explain
