firewall to allow video conferencing traffic to pass in and out of the network.

internal IP addresses for devices within the network, while using one external

outside the LAN. If your system is connected to a LAN that uses a NAT, you
will need to enter the
NAT Public (WAN) Address so that your system can
communicate outside the LAN.
