Hi, Tyler: I'm probably not the expert you need on this, but I wonder why you have ssh in the mix? Do you not have access to the firewall? So that you aren't able to forward all the ports you should be forwarding? I would think the way to find out where the problem is would be to turn off pieces of the chain and test. Did the latency improve? Try without ssh. Is it better? Turn off the firewall for awhile. Did that fix things? And, how about another codec, like ulau?
