coturn is a free open-source implementation of TURN and STUN servers written in C, serving as a VoIP/WebRTC media traffic NAT traversal server and gateway. It supports RFC 5766/8489 and related standards, with user databases (SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis), TLS/DTLS, and Prometheus metrics.
Use cases
- run a TURN server for WebRTC video calls
- NAT traversal for VoIP media traffic
- self-host a STUN server for peer-to-peer connections
- relay media traffic for real-time communication apps
- deploy TURN with Docker for a chat or conferencing app
- provide ICE relay candidates for a browser-based calling app
When to choose
- you need a battle-tested, standards-compliant TURN/STUN server for WebRTC or VoIP
- you want self-hosted NAT traversal with flexible user database backends
- you need TLS/DTLS support and Prometheus monitoring out of the box
When to avoid
- you only need a signaling server without media relay
- you want a managed TURN service without operating your own infrastructure
- you need TURN over QUIC or other non-standard transports
