Veilid nodes need to be internet facing or behind a firewall that allows inbound connections via port 5150 for both TCP and UDP. This will allow veilid-server to access other nodes in the wider network since 5150 is the port that the process uses by default. Veilid nodes need to be internet facing or behind a firewall that allows inbound connections via port 5150 for both TCP and UDP. This will allow veilid-server to access other nodes in the wider network since 5150 is the port that the process uses by default. If the port is not available, veilid-server will wait for it to become available.
If something is already using port 5150, then veilid will attempt the next port up (ie, 5151). Veilid-server typically only has a single instance running on a machine. However, machines can run several different processes which include veilid-core. These additional processes will try to use ports 5151, 5152, and so on. In the event the listening port is not opened in the firewall, an application may still operate, though in a fairly degraded mode that relies on another node to relay incoming RPC messages to them.
