'How can I use TCP instead of UDP for WebRTC publish/play in Ant Media Server?
I'm using Ant Media Server on AWS and it works perfectly fine. However, some of our users have blocked UDP ports and therefore I want to know if it is possible to use TCP instead of UDP for WebRTC.
Solution 1:[1]
Yes, we can make use of TCP ports for WebRTC.
Please open TCP Port range 50000-60000 on the AWS Security group (for AMS v2.4.2.1 and above, for older version use port range 5000-65000).
Go to the Application settings:
/usr/local/antmedia/webapps/<AppName>/WEB-INF/red5-web.properties
Edit the red5-web.properties file and set
settings.webrtc.tcpCandidateEnabled=true
Restart Ant Media Server
sudo service antmedia restart
If you are using a cloud service like OVH or if there is pubic IP directly associated with the instance, then webrtc should work.
If you are using a cloud service like AWS with private/public IP, then some additional settings are required to be configured.
Go to server configuration settings
/usr/local/antmedia/conf/red5.properties
Edit the red5.properties file and set
server.name=Instance_Public_IP
Go to the application settings again and edit the red5-web.properties
/usr/local/antmedia/webapps/<AppName>/WEB-INF/red5-web.properties
set
settings.replaceCandidateAddrWithServerAddr=true
Save the settings and restart Ant Media server
sudo service antmedia restart
Webrtc should work fine afterwards.
Thank you.

And with this in your User data in AWS you'll get the current instance public IP inserted automatically on boot:
sed -i "s/server.name=.*/server.name=$(curl -s http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-ipv4)/g" /usr/local/antmedia/conf/red5.properties
