Hi, I'm trying to configure vMix Call with "Allow only direct peer to peer connections". I've already read these pages: https://www.vmix.com/kno...l-direct-connection-modeand https://www.vmix.com/kno...on-issues-with-vmix-callI have Mikrotik firewall on which I added rules: Quote:/ip firewall filter print chain=input action=accept protocol=udp in-interface=ether1 dst-port=49152-65535 log=no log-prefix=""
Unfortunetely caller cant connect to vMix. In vMix Call Manager I see: Quote:XXXXXXX 02:50:26 PM Ready to accept caller at https://www.vmixcall.com/ with Password XXXXXXX XXXXXXX 02:50:26 PM Callers can also use the following link: https://vmix.at/yyyyyyyyyyyPawel 02:50:45 PM logged in Pawel 02:50:46 PM Caller has made initial contact! Pawel 02:50:46 PM Sending our reply to initiate the call... When I untick "Allow only direct peer to peer connections" I can connect without any problems, but I suppose that with p2p connection I will achieve lower latency and better image quality. Should I add any DNAT rule? Any other filter rules? Thanks in advance.

if the caller can´t connect while "allow only p2p..." is selected that is an issue of the network/firewall configuration of the calling side.
In a couple (if not a lot or most) of company networks and company administrated computers it is not possible to connect p2p.
And then if you only allow p2p, no connection will set up.
If a connection via p2p is possible you will avoid connecting via an external server, which can sometimes be very busy with in/out traffic. Due to this the video quality esspecially resolution can be lowered with expanding traffic on the server.
I am not a network administrator or firewall expert so consider this as the most basic and simple explanation!
