iChat AV through a firewall
Authored by: derekhed on Oct 01, '04 03:44:05AM

I find this very interesting, that Apple's own Internet sharing was incapable of handling the new AV traffic. If these programs were open source, folks could identify this and fix it themselves. Sounds like they are doing something strange if router's DMZ settings weren't even sufficient.

Sounds like a bunch of Linux guys who sound like they don't want any more proprietary standards on their firewalls. Do you? Of course, _they_ don't trust Apple. :-)

Is there any way to make iChat map its SIP port to a higher port number (which is not blocked)?

See same open source point. But I am glad to see Mac folks coming up with these ideas ourselves. OS X hasn't been out that long really.
