    I read the netwpork settings for VePro, especially the firewall settings at https://www.vsl.info/de/manuals/vep7/network

    I like to discuss or point out that these settings might be a bit too open. This might only be important if you do NOT have a completely offline system.

    You specify to open ports TCP and UDP 6472-6473 for ALL programs and ALL networks.

    1. imho a more secure way would be to just allow the VEPRO dll/exe instance to access these ports, or Cubase itself. Not quite sure who is accessing here in the DAW.

    2. opening these ports to the PUBLIC NETWORK is a bit strange. Usually your network is a PRIVATE or DOMAIN but certainly not PUBLIC. If it IS public, then you should check your network setup. This is important for users with Computers who might connect to a public wifi (Laptops f.e.) These ports would be open for everybody then. Keep your doors closed to the public ;-)

    3. You might consider narrowing the RANGE of the allowed IPs to connect/listen

    sounds right to me (not an expert tho).
    anyone from @VSL can confirm that?
    lets say Master (daw) and Slave (vep 7 server) are connected via gigabit lan (connected to the same router to be precise):
    wouldn't it make sense to uncheck "Domain" and "Public"?
    Or could this causa any technical issues in the communication between DAW vep7-plugin (master) and VEP7 server (on slave)?
