Fluid LAN mode

Experience of Fluid would be better if both controlled device and client are in the same LAN, connected with a direct connection. As there’s no data traffic sending through the Internet (via JD’s servers), more bandwidth is available for remote desktop streaming and we can expect higher picture quality and lower latency.

  Hi,

  Fluid is quite smart about making sure it creates a direct connection between machines. If the two machines are on the same LAN it will automatically connect the two directly. Even if you’re on a different network it will try to create a direct connection without involving our servers. It falls back to our relay servers only if it can’t create a direct connection.

  In summary: if you’re on the same LAN, Jump will create a direct connection without going over the internet. Make sure you’re on 5ghz wifi or on a wired network for best performance.

  I cannot agree to this, I tried to measure this with using little snitch. My two device are on the same LAN using Gigabit-Ethernet for connections. And I did not find a connection from a local IP but enough from Jumpdesktop. So, I believe this will not function very well.

  @ryder - unless you have a strange networking setup or overly stringent firewall rules, you're probably going through the LAN. Would you be able to you share your results here: Which process were you monitoring via Little Snitch and what kind of stats did you see?

  @Jump Desktop Support,

  I have to withdraw my statement, I could now trace the connection using TCPDUMP. My mistake was that I thought the connection was running over other ports. In fact the connection is established locally using the FLUID ports.
