<p>HyperMeeting is designed to work on public and private networks with firewall and proxy servers and no special network configuration is required. Standard HTTP or HTTPS ports are used for communications between Hosts, servers and Participants.<br /><br />By default, all HyperMeeting conferences are secure and confidential. All web communications are encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) through the HTTPS protocol. Most web browsers provide a visual indicator when the connection is secure. This indicator is usually found at the bottom of the browser window in the form of a lock icon. </p>
