According to the documentation at:  
[https://openvidu.io/latest/docs/self-hosting/single-node/on-premises/install/#port-rules](https://openvidu.io/latest/docs/self-hosting/single-node/on-premises/install/#port-rules)  
it appears that high-range UDP ports must be opened for WebRTC traffic. From what I understand, this requirement is related to MediaSoup. However, in my understanding, **OpenVidu CE uses Pion only** , not MediaSoup. In OpenVidu Pro, there is an `rtc-engine` parameter that allows enabling MediaSoup, but no such option exists in the CE edition.

My question is: **Is it possible to enable MediaSoup in OpenVidu CE?** Or is MediaSoup strictly a feature of the Pro version?

Mediasoup is only available for OpenVidu PRO. Also the range is necessary for both, Mediasoup and pion. You can close that UDP range, but traffic will be relayed using Turn relay service, causing more CPU usage and less performance.
