- TURN/STUN: TCP+UDP 3478, 5349
Can I use Jami in a local network (LAN) without internet access?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes! Thanks to Jami's architecture, Jami users on a local/private
network can communicate among themselves using Jami, without requiring
any outside connectivity such as the internet.
To do so, from Jami's ``Account`` settings open ``Advanced account
settings``. There, enable the ``Enable local peer discovery``
setting. Additionally, you may want to manually set the ``bootstrap``
node's address (default: ``bootstrap.jami.net``) to the IP address of
another device on your network that also runs Jami and/or an OpenDHT
node.
.. note:: If you will use this Jami account for communicating only
with only with other devices on the same local/private network,
you can disable TURN if you wish. If you do so, and later you
decide to use this account also for communicating with other Jami
devices outside your network, don't forget to enable TURN again,
as it helps Jami work around issues with some overly restrictive
firewalls.
How can I configure the codecs even more?
