Listen for UDP messages

Is it possible to listen for UDP messages using the dgram module? I’m assuming not since it seems there’s no way to allocate or open a port.

That’s right, there’s not currently a way to use UDP.

Cool. I think there’s potentially way to work around it by using an external host, but this would be a nice pro feature in the future.

Hi, wanted to check, is this still the case? I was looking to set up a demo that could be remixed for an open source project of ours that would utilize the mediasoup library. I believe I can switch it over to tcp, but udp is preferred.

Glitch is my favorite platform and one of the few I really have decided is worth paying for, but I would love to see the server containers be fully open and configurable.

Should still be the case. Glitch doesn’t give your project a public IP address. There’s a server that receives specifically HTTP(S) requests and forwards them through an internal network to your project container based on the Host header.
