Ah, I didn't know that the performance overhead of using TCP was that severe.

Either is entirely possible. Besides my router, there is quite a bit
of network between me and the server (including my Austrian ISP [UPC]
and a couple of layers of State of Wisconsin [US] infrastructure).

I am forwarding UDP port 443 from my router to computer. Are there
other ports I should be forwarding too? Going the other direction,
what port(s) on the server needs to be accessible?

Thanks,
