Adam: Hey Javier! What is going on?
Javier: Lately, it is all about port forwarding. It seems that our Voice Over artists and other talent asked to configure their settings for sessions. Port forwarding is a pretty technical process and can be confusing for some users.
Adam: Interesting, interesting… What is port forwarding? I know all about it, but can you explain port forwarding for others who may read this?
Javier: Sure. Port forwarding is telling your Internet connection to let Source-Connect communicate freely; a way to make a stable connection of one computer to another securely. By making some adjustments to your router, you can establish this virtual line of sight between your computer and your collaborating partner.
