thanks you. I didn't think any shared hosts would allow UDP listening, I'll look around for that.

- gojomo 17y agoI haven't read the fine print to see if it's allowed by their terms of service, but I just tried setting up a simple UDP-to-HTTP relay on Dreamhost: % nc -u -l -p 59595 | xargs -I UDP curl http://example.com/path?u=UDP ...and it worked just fine. I would think as long as the traffic is a tiny fraction of what web traffic would be -- and occasional UDP packets fit that bill -- they might either officially allow it or just not mind.
- jo 17y agoGreat, thanks. And thanks for the cli paste - I had not heard of 'nc'.
