@elena I closed the window after the tenth time Little Snitch reported this kind of nonsense. I was barely 20 seconds in. Whatever video host you are using is working against your case.
@jwz @elena I may be completely misinformed here, but isn't this because PeerTube is P2P and these are other peers trying to connect with you?
EDIT: I started the video and let it run for 10 seconds and I already have 6 peers.

@davey_cakes @jalict @elena It would not surprise me to learn that I have never clicked on a peertube link before. But any system that requires me to accept all connections from any IP to any UDP port, is not a system I will be allowing to access my computer. If that's what peertube requires, it's a terrible design.
@jwz @davey_cakes @jalict As far as I know, it doesn't require it. You can still watch the video.
PeerTube does that to alleviate the bandwidth of the small self-hosted servers where it is installed. When many people want to watch the same video, each share the upload and download, so that the server can survive the load. It's like a tiny BitTorrent.
