Coturn

Coturn

 

From sgcWebSockets 4.5.2 ENTERPRISE Edition, you can build your own STUN/TURN server using Delphi/CBuilder.

 

It's a free open source implementation of TURN and STUN Servers.

The TURN Server is a VoIP media traffic NAT traversal server and gateway. It can be used as a general-purpose network traffic TURN server and gateway, too.

 

The supported project target platforms are:

 

Windows Configuration

First you must download compiled binaries from your account, there are 2 available versions: win32 and win64. Select the desired platform and uncompress binaries in a folder. The following files will be created:

 

1. Some cygwin libraries required to run application, you must deploy these libraries with coturn server.

2. Some console applications:

2.1 turnserver.exe: is the main console application to run a TURN/STUN server

2.2 Other applications: are used to configure or testing purposes.

3. Turnserver.conf: is the configuration file for coturn server.

 

 

turnserver.conf

This is the configuration file for coturn server, if you open you will se a default configuration.

 

Simple Configuration

 

Your server has the following public IP 80.15.44.123 and listens on port 80. The credentials for connecting are: username = demo, password = secret

Set the following configuration:

 

listening-ip=80.15.44.123

listening-port=80

realm=yourrealm.com

user=demo:secret

 

 

 

Configuration with TLS enabled

 

Server has the following public IP 80.15.44.123 and listens on port 80 and 443 (TLS connections). The credentials for connecting are: username = demo, password = secret. Your certificate name (must be in PEM format) is certificate.crt and private key is private.key.

Set the following configuration:

 

listening-ip=80.15.44.123

listening-port=80

realm=yourrealm.com

tls-listening-port=443

cert=certificate.crt

pkey=private.key

user=demo:secret

 

There are more configurations available, just open turnserver.conf and read the documented sections.

 

Run coturn

 

Once configured, you can run server just executing turnserver.exe, a new console application will be opened and a log file will be created. You can increase the verbose of console application (get more detailed messages) if you enable "verbose" in turnserver.conf file.
