In this episode of your favourite FLOSS podcast our two OAPs discuss the challenges of running

conferencing systems like BigBlueButton behind a network address translation

(NAT) configuration, something that the Inlaws have been struggeling (?) with

for quite some time but now have arrived a solution which might just work :-).

If you face similar challenges or just want to refresh your knowledge about

intricate network architectures never mind their pitfalls, stay tuned. All

will be revealed (hopefully :-). But beware: This show is highly technical and

geek-only. Which may come in handy if you're not technical but suffer from

insomnia or similar sleep disorders - this is your show!
