After Installing Jitsi no Participants from different Networks are able to join a meeting

Install & Config
#1

I managed to Setup a new Jitsi Server on a hosted VM (Ubuntu 18.0.4), following this Guide,
Meeting-Url is meet.dr-bit-online.de
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-jitsi-meet-on-ubuntu-18-04-de
Certificates (Let’s Encrypt) seem to be fine.
Participants from same Wifi Network can connect flawlessly, but trying to Join a meeting from other Network (different Provider) makes the participant showing up with no audio or video.
For them it’s the same thing vice-versa. the only see their own audio/video information, but nothing from the moderator.

What can I do?

jvb.log says strange things:

You need to open port 10000/UDP.

Also, check the advanced configuration section in the guide, it that doesn’t immediately fix it for you, or if you have it open and forwarded already.

Hey, I checked this, but it didn’t solve it.
It’s always the same. Clients from the same network can sucessfully join the meeting with working audio/video, clients from different IP-Ranges can’t.

Besides, my hosts file looks like this. Is this alright?:

127.0.0.1 localhost
87.106.170.215 meet.dr-bit-online.de

These are the latest jvb.log messages:

Any hints?
Thanks in Advance Guys

I think I have the same problem, did you solve this @dr.bit ?

#6

I have the same problem also. I have port forward - 80, 443, 10000 - on router and dns linked to home ip address but nobody can connect through android app or web browser!!

#7

I just installed latest jitsi-meet on a digital ocean droplet and opened the UDP port 10000, and tested with three participants video call without any issues.

root@ubuntu:~# ufw status
Status: active

To Action From

22/tcp ALLOW Anywhere
80/tcp ALLOW Anywhere
443/tcp ALLOW Anywhere
3478/udp ALLOW Anywhere
10000/udp ALLOW Anywhere
22/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)

443/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
3478/udp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
10000/udp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)

#8

I have all those ports open on server and I have port forwarded on the router for 80, 443, and 10000 but nobody can join. Do you think it could be the use of ubuntu on rpi as opposed to using debian arm edition?

#9

Why do you need to make change on the router? Where is the router located? DigitalOcean droplet can give you a public IP address for the server.

#10

I am running it from my home so it is on a rpi connected to my router.

#11

Can you run a TCP dump on the machine that hosts Jitsi server and see if there is any UDP packets coming to port 10000?

#12
#13

I checked and port 10,000 is open and udp packets are arriving, here is the pcap: http://chagai.website/jitsi.pcap

it still does not show any participants, I installed using the docker compose guide:
Self-Hosting Guide - Docker · Jitsi Meet Handbook

here you can test:
