Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install coturn on Kali Linux.

What is coturn

coturn is:

STUN (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT) and TURN (Traversal Using Relays
around NAT) are protocols that can be used to provide NAT traversal for VoIP
and WebRTC. This package provides a VoIP media traffic NAT traversal server
and gateway.

Supported RFCs:
TURN specs:

STUN specs:

  • RFC 3489 – obsolete “classic” STUN specs;
  • RFC 5389 – base “new” STUN specs;
  • RFC 5769 – test vectors for STUN protocol testing;
  • RFC 5780 – NAT behavior discovery support.

The implementation fully supports UDP, TCP, TLS, and DTLS as protocols between
the TURN client and the TURN server. Both UDP and TCP relaying are supported.

SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL and Redis are supported for the user
repository (if authentication is required).
The long-term credentials mechanism is supported.
For WebRTC applications,
the TURN server REST API for time-limited
secret-based authentication is implemented.
The third-party authentication
specs (OAuth-based) are supported, too.

Load balancing can be implemented either by DNS round-robin mechanism, or with
the external networking tools, or by
the built-in ALTERNATE-SERVER mechanism.

The implementation is intended to be simple to install and configure.
The project focuses on performance, scalability, and simplicity.
The aim is to provide an enterprise-grade TURN solution.
