Me and a friend want to abandon skype because of it being a massive spy tool and recently even adding ads to conversations that specifically target certain key words that have dropped during them.
At first we tried ekiga but it simply crashed too often to be usable and now someone recommended jitsi to me. The problem is that we simply can't get my friend to hear my voice. We opened the ports for the SIP protocol 5060 and 5061, his audio device is detected and I get upload when I'm talking. It simply doesn't reach him for some reason.
Does anyone know his way around this piece of software? I already delt with the fact that it simply won't detect my webcam but it just seems so strange because I can hear him perfectly fine.
Other skype alternatives are welcome too.
