Hi Martin

Ah, so this is what CTaylor was saying when he said "it sounds like the voice data is going through Voxalot's servers on the way to you". I didn't realize that these VoIP calls would actually go through a third party proxy. It thought except for the call setup, everything would be peer-to-peer.

As a bit of education for me, why would the system think going through a proxy is better?

Also, what difference does enabling symmetric NAT handling make?

I'm trying to understand what causes latency.

Thanks for helping me understand :-)

Richard
