Network Requirements

Please request your IT manager to ensure access to the NEI system from your corporate servers.

Hostname IP address Ports (outbound)
ne.institute Load balancer — no static IP 443/TCP
app.ne.institute Load balancer — no static IP 443/TCP
livekit.ne.institute 54.95.166.248 443/TCP, 7881/TCP, 7882/UDP, 443/UDP
turn.ne.institute 54.95.166.248 443/TCP, 7881/TCP, 7882/UDP, 443/UDP
relay.ne.institute 13.192.72.189 443/TCP

All rules are outbound from the participant’s device; no inbound rules are required. The 443/TCP rules are mandatory for a call to connect; the UDP and 7881/TCP rules carry direct media and materially improve call quality and latency.

These destinations must also be excluded from SSL/TLS inspection. This traffic is WebRTC, WebSocket and TURN-over-TLS, not ordinary HTTP. An inspecting proxy completes the TLS handshake and then drops or throttles the long-lived flow, so the call appears to connect but has no audio or video. Opening the ports without an inspection exemption will not work.
