Why are you using dgram instead of pure socket.io?
Unfortunately i don't know anything about dgram. I've read about it. Seems like Socket.io also uses dgram by default.
No clue

i will rewrite and for Socket.io and repost. " Mr Bean Rocks"

From a browser client, socket.io uses either the http or the webSocket transport. Both http and webSocket are TCP connections, not UDP connections. So the browser client socket.io does not use UDP - it uses TCP.

What is your point? Do you need something like Browser Realtime Chat / or Videochat? Than socket.io should be your choice.
As i said. I only read a little about dgram because of this thread. Never came along it earlier.

so the whole Point of the project is to read a UDP String Coming from a Remote Device on the Network in the Form of 2343,12321,0,0,0 UDP port 10000 and place the Data into a webpage.

Okay. Isn't dgram documentation telling you anything about a connection? Your web client have to connect one way or the other.

Or, which is also a way, open your browser with the right url like yourdomain.com:5000. If everything is right your browserconsole should show the ouptut of your console.logs.
