Is it possible for the browser to make the necessary connections to the tox network, or would it always have to pass over a server with the browser acting as a gui frontend?

I know that people are working on porting libp2p to wasm, but I don't know how they plan to support tcp, udp etc connections. I thought that wasn't possible in a browser, but I might be mistaking.

You cannot use raw tcp/udp in browser however you can use WebSockets. In Tox network there are tcp relays, we can add some code into tcp relays to accept websockets too.
So I believe it is possible.

But I can't find nice solution for udp. WebRTC may not be a good solution to do this. Because it is too complex and heavy.

[kpp]

You cannot use UDP in WebSockets. Tox tcp relay is designed in such a way to let users communicate with each other even without a UDP connections.

There is a new library for unordered webRTC data channels. It's not UDP, but it's analogous. https://github.com/kyren/webrtc-unreliable
