Firewalls and proxies

For remote connections, the receiver and clients need to be able to access the internet through these ports;

• TCP 80
• TCP 443
• UDP 53

For local connections (i.e., clients on the same network) the following ports are used;

• TCP 1-65535 (It will be selected from available ones)
• UDP 1025 – 65535
• TCP 5353 (for mDNS), 7000, 7100 (For Airplay connections)

If there is Layer 7 filtering or proxy with protocol filtering on these ports, then the following protocols will need to be allowed:

• HTTP
• HTTPS
• DTLS
• XMPP
• Bonjour protocols
• SRTP
• DNS
• STUN
• TURN
• ICE

Our SaaS provides services at the following FQDNs:

• netcheck.joinmontage.com
• *.displaynote.com 

Fetch list of STUN/TURN servers from dedicated API

This enhancement improves the reliability and performance of the casting experience, particularly in complex network environments. By dynamically fetching the optimal list of STUN/TURN servers, Montage can now better facilitate peer-to-peer communication between devices and bypass potential network obstacles, ensuring a more seamless and consistent connection for wireless casting in classrooms. This feature not only enhances the overall user experience but also reduces the burden on IT administrators by simplifying network configuration and management.
