Networking Unity game over Internet with Node.js

Question

I have a game I want to network over the internet, and wanted to confirm my understanding to make sure i'm not missing any technical or security issues that may arise if I go down this path.

I've managed to network my Unity Android Application on a local network using the built-in Unity networking tools, and I'd like to be able to 'match-make' the clients together over the internet. My plan is to host a node.js server on Digital Ocean as a point of contact for the clients. Clients will connect to the server, which will 'pair up' clients by exchanging IP addresses, to form a direct connection between them, and then function the same as if they were on a local network. I like this method as it is low overhead on the server end, with its only role being as a point of contact for the clients, pairing them up, then disconnecting and waiting for more requests, which node seems particularly suited to.

I do not plan to store any data on the server, or perform any strenuous processing, other than possibly matchmaking players of similar skill level.

Does this sound achievable?

Thanks.
