Has anyone done any work using STUN or TURN?

Hello all,

Has anyone been able to implement STUN or TURN to their apps? If so, is there any plugins or code that is available to get started?

Thanks,
Tim

Following this. For those who don’t know, STUN and TURN are specific ways of trying to ensure that a device (or app) behind some combination of NAT, (consumer or Carrier-grade CGNAT) and/or one or more Firewall(s), can have two-way communication with another device, which itself might be behind NAT or firewall(s).

If you need a general solution to the problem across many apps, I would recommend TailScale https://tailscale.com which has STUN, TURN, and other algorithms included to find the best way to network two nodes.

But if you need this feature for a single app alone, then having Xojo code to implement these features would be important.

Edit to add: Here’s a good overview of what STUN and TURN are trying to accomplish: How Network Address Translator (NAT) works | Tailscale
