I may miss something, but does Unity 5.6 support NAT Traversal now? There was information, that starting from version 5.6 Unet shall have this feature, but I am not sure :eyes:

NAT punchthrough is on Unity’s list for features they plan to add before the end of the year

5.6 no, the next one most probably yes, NAT punch is on the stability/stress testing phase now

hype hyyyype hyyyyyyyype

you have no idea how excited I am!

Any more info on this?
Are you allowed to completely turn off the relay server and just use this?
I know it doesn’t work in WebGl but is there something like NAT punch for WebGL that’d work in the future?
Andoid/IOS?
And how easy is it to integrate with steam?

Don’t know, I’m developer I do not make business decision

We have plans to support websockets via relay, but i’m not sure that we will support tcp punch trow implemented on javaScript:)

Andoid/IOS?
Yes, sure

And how easy is it to integrate with steam?

@ZoneOfTanks you could give my plugin a try for NAT Traversal. Unfortunately it does not work with web sockets. It is pretty easy to integrate with steam though at least for matchmaking purposes.
