In WebRTC, a TURN server serves as a fallback proxy that will carry video data between two peers who aren't able to connect directly to each other.

BareRTC doesn't come with one, but you can install a server like coturn and configure it in settings.toml.

pion/turn is a Go library for creating a TURN server. BareRTC could optionally run its own built-in server which provides both TURN and STUN and make the app fully self-contained (e.g., avoiding needing the Google STUN server to aid peer-to-peer connections either).
