What is STUN Google com?

stun.l.google.com is a Google-hosted STUN server which, I presume, is used for Google Talk and other Google-hosted VOIP services.

Can I use Google STUN servers?

The Google STUN server is something you can freely use for development purposes, but, as a free service, there is no SLA. If you are deploying a commercial application, you should plan to deploy your own STUN/TURN servers.

What is a STUN server used for?

The STUN server enables clients to find out their public IP address, NAT type, and the Internet-facing port associated by the NAT device with a particular local port. This information is used to set up a UDP communication session between the client and the VoIP provider to establish a call.

What are STUN settings?

STUN (Simple Traversal of UDP through NATs) is a network protocol allowing a client behind a NAT (or multiple NATs) to find out its public address, the type of NAT it is behind and the internet side port associated by the NAT with a particular local port.

What applications use STUN?

STUN has several legitimate uses, including enablement of NAT traversal for voice over IP (VOIP), messaging, video, and other IP-based interactive communication. As an example, Palo Alto Networks wrote a blog post back in 2010 covering how STUN works with VOIP.

How does NAT STUN work?

A host uses Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) to discover its public IP address when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall. When this host wants to receive an incoming connection from another party, it provides this public IP address as a possible location where it can receive a connection.

How do I access STUN server?

Setup STUN/TURN server using Coturn

  1. Step 1: Firewall rules to Open ports:
  2. Step 2: Coturn installation.
  3. Step 3: Start the Coturn Daemon at Startup.
  4. Step 4: Create a TURN user to Next, edit the main configuration file.
  5. Step 5: Restart the Coturn Service.
  6. Step 6: Testing Time.

What is the STUN app?

STUN is a tool for communications protocols to detect and traverse network address translators that are located in the path between two endpoints of communication.

How does STUN work?

What is App STUN?

STUN is a tool for communications protocols to detect and traverse network address translators that are located in the path between two endpoints of communication. The client side is implemented in the user’s communications application, such as a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone or an instant messaging client.

Is STUN a security risk?

No. It doesn’t depend on whether or not have you used secured channel for communicating with STUN. The session between both the peers will be end-to-end encrypted regardless your secured/unsecured connection with STUN.

What is Cisco STUN?

Cisco’s serial tunnel (STUN) feature allows Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) or High-Level Data-Link Control (HDLC) devices to connect to one another through a multiprotocol internetwork rather than through a direct serial link. You can configure your network with STUN, or with STUN and SDLC Local Acknowledgment.

Do you need port 19302 for Google’s stun?

However, if port 19302 is open, WebRTC clients will use port 19302 to access Google’s STUN servers to get external IP addresses Note: Google’s STUN servers are at the stun.l.google.com domain. For more information, see Ports and services to configure on your company firewall.

What does stun stun.l.google.com mean?

stun.l.google.com is a Google-hosted STUN server which, I presume, is used for Google Talk and other Google-hosted VOIP services.

What is the port number for a STUN server?

The STUN protocol is defined in RFC 3489. The STUN server is contacted on UDP port 3478, however the server will also ask clients to perform tests on a secondary IP and port number also associated with the server. The RFC states that this port and IP are arbitrary. At SingleComm, we use port 19302, and use Google’s STUN servers.

What kind of STUN server does singlecomm use?

At SingleComm, we use port 19302, and use Google’s STUN servers. Because the devices we typically connect to are behind a NAT device, a request for the IP address of the computer will most likely return a local IP instead of the public IP and port that must be used to direct voice data to a client over the Internet.
