Well, this looks OK.

Hm. I am sorry if I have mislead you into a wrong direction.

To make it more precise: when you are not using "mode p2p" you have to
decide in your config if your system is a client or a server. And: you
can't mix these roles in one config file. So you have to build a second
config on your office firewall, typically as a server.
