Configure a Juniper Firewall

This guide explains how to configure a Juniper firewall to allow Reemo to use an optimal connection (direct/udp) and avoid unnecessary fallback to relays.

A correct configuration reduces latency and improves the audio/video quality of sessions.

Without this configuration, Reemo can still work, but connections will fall back to relays (relay/tcp, relay/udp, websocket) with reduced performance.

Before starting, make sure your Juniper firewall (SRX Series, Junos OS) is properly installed and accessible via its web administration interface.

Then log in to the interface with your administrator credentials.

Note

This configuration is provided as an example.

Screens and labels may vary slightly depending on the version of your device (e.g. Junos OS SRX).

The proposed names for objects (Reemo_TURN1, Reemo_Protocol_in, etc.) are indicative: you may use your own naming conventions.

Step 1: Add the Reemo servers

In Security > Policy Elements > Zone Address Book, add the following addresses in the Internet zone:

• Reemo_TURN1 :

  • Type : FQDN

  • Domain Name : turn1.reemo.io

Add TURN1 address in the Zone Address Book.

• Reemo_TURN2 :

  • Type : FQDN

  • Domain Name : turn2.reemo.io

Add TURN2 address in the Zone Address Book.

• Reemo_Signal :

  • Type : FQDN

  • Domain Name : signal.reemo.io

Add Signal address in the Zone Address Book.

Summary of configured addresses.

Step 2: Create Reemo applications (services)

In Security > Policy Elements > Applications, create the following custom applications:

• Reemo_TURN_UDP443 :

  • Protocol : udp

  • Destination Port : 443

Custom application: TURN over UDP/443.

• Reemo_Protocol_out :

  • Protocol : udp

  • Source Port : 58200-58400

Custom application: outgoing flows from the Reemo Agent.

• Reemo_Protocol_in :

  • Protocol : udp

  • Destination Port : 58200-58400

Custom application: incoming flows for the browser.

Step 3: Create security rules

In Security > Security Policy, create the following rules:

Global rules

• Reemo_TURN :

  • From Zone : internal

  • To Zone : Internet

  • Destination Address : Reemo_TURN1, Reemo_TURN2

  • Applications : Reemo_TURN_UDP443, junos-https

  • Action : permit

Allow TURN (UDP/443) and HTTPS to the TURN servers.

• Reemo_Signal :

  • From Zone : internal

  • To Zone : Internet

  • Destination Address : Reemo_Signal

  • Applications : junos-https

  • Action : permit

Allow HTTPS to the signaling server.

Rules for the remote computer (“Reemo Side”)

These rules concern the outgoing traffic generated by the remote computer running the Reemo Agent. They allow the machine to correctly communicate with the client browser via the UDP 58200–58400 range.

• ReemoAgent_out :

  • From Zone : internal

  • To Zone : Internet

  • Source Address : LAN (remote computer)

  • Destination Address : any

  • Applications : Reemo_Protocol_out

  • Action : permit

Allow outgoing flows from the Reemo Agent.

Rules for the browser (“Browser Side”)

These rules concern the incoming traffic on the browser side (the user’s workstation). They ensure that UDP 58200–58400 flows sent by the Reemo Agent properly reach the browser.

• ReemoAgent_in :

  • From Zone : internal

  • To Zone : Internet

  • Applications : Reemo_Protocol_in

  • Action : permit

Allow incoming UDP flows on the browser side.

Summary of configured policies.

Step 4: NAT configuration (recommended)

To preserve performance in direct/udp, it is recommended to:

• Disable source port overloading,

• Enable persistent NAT behavior.

1. Open NAT > Source, then Global Settings.

2. Disable the Interface Port-Overloading option.

3. Add specific rules in the main Source Rule Set.

Example of NAT configuration.

NAT rule examples

• Reemo_NAT_TestPage_rule (Test to UDP/443) :

  • Source : your internal subnet

  • Protocol : udp

  • Port : 443

  • Action : Do Source NAT With Egress Interface Address + Persistent

• ReemoAgent_out (Agent outgoing flows) :

  • Source : your internal subnet

  • Protocol : udp

  • Ports : 58200-58400

  • Action : Do Source NAT With Egress Interface Address + Persistent

• ReemoAgent_in (browser-side incoming flows) :

  • Source : your internal subnet

  • Protocol : udp

  • Ports : 58200-58400

  • Action : Do Source NAT With Egress Interface Address + Persistent

Summary: Ports and addresses to open

For quick reference, here is a summary table of the required flows for Reemo to work properly in direct/udp mode:

Usage	Protocol	Ports	Destination
Signal server	TCP/UDP	443	signal.reemo.io
TURN servers	UDP	443	turn1.reemo.io, turn2.reemo.io
Reemo Protocol In	UDP	58200–58400	Browser (client workstation)
Reemo Protocol Out	UDP	58200–58400 (src → dynamic dst)	Remote computer (Reemo Agent)
