VidyoProxy Solution for Traversal of Restricted Networks

Overcoming deployment barriers securely and effectively

Utilizing the Internet to gain cost efficiencies is a significant advantage of the VidyoConferencing solution. Traversing company firewalls, NATs, and web proxies can pose a challenge, particularly if you don’t have control over the firewall, or your company policy prevents you from opening the necessary ports for VidyoConferencing signaling and traffic. The VidyoProxy solution was developed to address this challenge, securely, and effectively.

The VidyoProxy solution comprises both client and server software components. The server component resides on the VidyoRouter appliance and is included with the purchase of the VidyoRouter. The client component is included with the VidyoDesktop purchase and resides in VidyoDesktop as an optionally configured component.
