Occurrence
I want to connect an iOS device to a UE5.3 VCAM using LiveLink, but cannot do so via an external network.
Overview
I would like to use LiveLink to connect my iPad Pro 12.9 to VCAM on UE.
I have no problem connecting to UE installed on my local PC and iPad,
However, I could not connect between UE built on Amazon EC2 and iPad at hand.
The UE settings are the same for both the local PC and EC2,
In the EC2 security group, all port access from the source iPad is permitted.
Therefore, the only difference between the two environments is whether the connection is made via the local network or the Internet.
Therefore, we would like to confirm the following and would appreciate your response.
Question 1: Are there any restrictions such as not being able to connect to LiveLink via an external network?
Question 2: If it is possible to connect via an external network, please let us know if there are any possible flaws in the UE configuration.
