General Remarks on Networking

Meteobridge has very low demands on what your network has to provide. Communication to the Internet is purely done via HTTP requests on port 80. This is exactly what you need to reach out for the Internet with your browser. A rule of thumb is, that in any network where you can browse the Internet, meteobridge should also be able to work properly. Some routers can be configured to block outgoing traffic on port 80. This firewall setting has to be released for the Meteobridge LAN IP, otherwise meteobridge will not be able to connect to any weather network.
