Softros LAN Messenger can work in two or more subnets connected by routers or VPN.

Softros LAN messenger will work with subnets if you:

  1. Open UDP 19771 port; TCP/IP 19771 and 19880 ports on your firewalls/routers/VPN hosts.
  2. Make sure that routers/VPN hosts can forward/route/transfer UDP broadcast packets between subnets (these packets have destination MAC address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF)
  3. Compose the following broadcast list (In Messenger Network Settings)

    xxx.xxx.xxx.255
    yyy.yyy.yyy.255
    zzz.zzz.zzz.255
    and so on...

    Here xxx.xxx.xxx, yyy.yyy.yyy, zzz.zzz.zzz - are first three digits of three different subnets. Add as many broadcasts as subnets you have.

    You can export once configured network settings and distribute them thought your network or share it on a server.
