Doesn't work in corporate firewall #21

Open autopilotdrone opened 5 years ago

autopilotdrone commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I made an app with this package which works fine in local area network like home wifi. But it doesn't work if one of the players is behind corp firewall. I was unable to debug due to no connectivity from the "behind enemny lines" app not sending any packet. Then I was reading this article, which means that UDP packets are essentially blocked by most of the firewalls. Do the creators of this package agree to this finding? @maxogden @mafintosh @pfrazee ?
