It seems Linode is also having this limitation, as per this conversation with <@U02UMFKPC6Q> :

<https://livekit-users.slack.com/archives/C01KZ61HZRR/p1644542663306799?thread_ts=1642638629.038200&amp;cid=C01KZ61HZRR>

Yup, seems either GCP or AWS, GCP worked well with me

It seems Vultr has the same limitation:

&gt; What protocols do you support?
&gt; Vultr Load Balancers support TCP, HTTP, and HTTPS.
<https://www.vultr.com/docs/vultr-load-balancers>

Confirming Vultr, customer support told me they don't have that feature available.

Erick, you do not want to put a load balancer in front of LiveKit UDP ports. instead they need to be exposed and accessible from the internet. See <https://docs.livekit.io/deploy/ports-firewall/#ports|Ports docs>

<@U032JMDR8TD> Please don’t deploy to k8s, my advise is to talk to our friend <@U01KZ61GV5Z> and ask about alternative cloud options :slightly_smiling_face:

As <@U01KZ61GV5Z> mentioned, you don't need any load balancer for UDP.  For my case I'm using haproxy which is handling 443 port &amp; forward to livekit cluster. Everything else is handling by livekit itself because livekit instances have their own IP address &amp; in firewall I opened only UDP port.  For my case I'm also using haproxy for Turn server forward too but I also tried with external turn server.

<@U02UMFKPC6Q>,  GKE is interesting but could be expensive.

Thanks <@U02LCP104CQ>. Are you using a single node?

I tested with different scenario. Honestly I never used K8s. For livekit I'm using multiple servers which is connected with single redis. I used single server to configure haproxy + redis.

I'm following <https://docs.livekit.io/deploy/distributed>

So <@U02LCP104CQ>, you basically configure multiple services (Livekit VM config?) and use redis using that setup, right?

Thanks. I'll try that and see what happens.
