Corporate networks and P2P

Enterprise networks prioritize control. UDP, peer discovery, and unknown destinations are often restricted—exactly what casual P2P needs.

Symptoms

Pairing succeeds but data channel stalls, or ICE stays disconnected. Refresh signaling after a few seconds as our tools suggest.

Mobile hotspot tests whether policy—not the product—is the blocker.

VPN considerations

A consumer VPN may help or hurt depending on whether it allows UDP between peers. It does not replace reading your employer’s acceptable use policy.

Future TURN options

An optional relay could improve connectivity while still avoiding cloud file storage. Signaling-only infrastructure is a different privacy trade than WeTransfer-style uploads.

FAQ

Does IT see file names?

On P2P, payloads are encrypted on the wire; policy tools may still see volume and endpoints.

QR pairing on guest Wi‑Fi

Often works better than locked-down VLANs. See QR security.
