Summary

Daily provides global infrastructure for high-quality video and audio communications, catering to security-oriented and regulated industries such as healthcare, banking, and government services. The company has introduced an Advanced Firewall Control capability, enabling seamless connectivity for users behind highly restrictive enterprise firewalls. This feature is particularly beneficial in addressing challenges faced by customers with "default deny" firewall configurations, which block video calls unless specific servers are added to the firewall's allowlists or proxies are managed. To overcome these limitations, Daily has launched self-hosted IP proxy and self-hosted TURN features, allowing users to route signaling traffic through an HTTP proxy or specific TURN servers, respectively, resulting in 100% connectivity rates even behind restrictive firewalls.
