I mean kind of like P2P without the use of a remote median (hosted server). I'm not certain what Open-NAT means. I do know Double-NAT. @OP Nevermind what I said about bridging but assuming you and your friends are connecting to a remote server what you can try is Sharing the wireless adapter on the laptop (Network Connections -> (right-click) Your wireless adapter -> Properties -> Share -> (tickbox) Share this computers network connection... -> OK. What this will do is create a private network that all the devices will connect to. In theory this will have the hidden perk of giving you the ability to connect as many devices as you want to the Internet (you'll have a substantial bandwidth limit though) as as far as the college will be able to see your laptop will just be passing a lot of traffic. They won't know what or how many devices are actually behind it. The college I attend has a device limit. You register the MAC address of the devices you own with your college account. You're only allowed like 4~5 but this should let you have as many as you want.

I think Open-NAT typically refers to having either port forwarding set up or uPNP enabled, allowing it to function without needing a big corporate network setup.

They provided public access points to all systems since they had a /16 block, and it seemed practical. I didn't verify how much of the firewall was restricting traffic.
