Huh? No, by default nodes are configured to be listening.

Ah! I wondered if I had that wrong. I'm not sure why I had the idea that default behavior was not accepting inbound connections.

It's not that the node isn't listening, it's that it's behind a NAT router that is not port forwarding TCP/8333 to the node and allowing inbound connections.
