Reading thought your requirements again SyncThing is perfect for what your looking to do
Synthings goes through community hosted intermediate servers, called relay servers, so it's not direct. https://relays.syncthing.net/
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.
The normal situation between two residential computers is that a direct connection is never possible because they're both behind NAT or CGNAT.
A direct connection is only possible if you're willing and able to do port forward on either side.
You have no idea what you are saying.
Syncthing has relay enabled by default, yes, but it does not route traffic through it by default.
When you launch syncthing it uses their public STUN server to resolve your local info.

Then when you try to connect from a remote, it uses that connection first. It only relays if that listener has closed.
