Search - SrchUDPDouble (General questions)

Hey guys, two more questions.

1.) As a matter of course, we would prefer direct connections instead of relayed ones. We only use SrchUDPSingle so far to enable a direct connection without relay. I noticed that it's not uncommon that this is not possible and a relay is needed. Actually, no problem at all but I was wondering if SrchUDPDouble could help us to increase the chance for a direct connection. Or in other words: when do we need SearchUDPDouble?

2.) Are the relay connections based on UDP as well or do I need to open TCP ports on relay server side as well? It works with UDP only but I need to make sure.

Thanks again.

Hi Patrick,

Let me try answering your questions.

1) It might, and it doesn't have to. If Single failed, there's a big chance Double will fail too. Double just requires that two packets are received in order to even initiate connection. Ofcourse, the newer one is used for further connection.

2) wodVPN only uses UDP. You won't need to open any TCP ports, unless you decide to use TCPHandler (http://www.weonlydo.com/VPN/Help/wodVPN-TCPHandler.html)

Hope this helps.
