    I use WebRTC in non-browser applications primarily. For those systems you can use mDNS. I have been working on WebRTC a lot lately. If you have ideas on how you’d solve this issue …

    You knowing your subnet is not the issue. The other party needs to know it. WebRTC needs info about where to try to connect. It doesn’t specify the signaling method which is how yo…

    I think you should add the steps (or some links) on how to start this image on a Mac. With that missing “glue” I would definitely try it. Right now I’m anticipating that after sett…
