This +allows the homeserver to generate credentials that are valid for use on the +TURN server through the use of a secret shared between the homeserver and the +TURN server.</p> +<p>The following sections describe how to install <a href="https://github.com/coturn/coturn">coturn</a> (which implements the TURN REST API) and integrate it with synapse.</p> +<h2 id="requirements"><a class="header" href="#requirements">Requirements</a></h2> +<p>For TURN relaying with <code>coturn</code> to work, it must be hosted on a server/endpoint with a public IP.</p> +<p>Hosting TURN behind NAT requires port forwaring and for the NAT gateway to have a public IP. +However, even with appropriate configuration, NAT is known to cause issues and to often not work.</p> +<h2 id="coturn-setup"><a class="header" href="#coturn-setup"><code>coturn</code> setup</a></h2> +<h3 id="initial-installation"><a class="header" href="#initial-installation">Initial installation</a></h3> +<p>The TURN daemon <code>coturn</code> is available from a variety of sources such as native package managers, or installation from source.</p> +<h4 id="debian-installation"><a class="header" href="#debian-installation">Debian installation</a></h4> +<p>Just install the debian package:</p> +<pre><code class="language-sh">apt install coturn +</code></pre> +<p>This will install and start a systemd service called <code>coturn</code>.</p> +<h4 id="source-installation"><a class="header" href="#source-installation">Source installation</a></h4> +<ol> +<li> +<p>Download the <a href="https://github.com/coturn/coturn/releases/latest">latest release</a> from github.

You can ignore +warnings about lack of database support: a database is unnecessary +for this purpose.</p> +</li> +<li> +<p>Build and install it:</p> +<pre><code class="language-sh">make +make install +</code></pre> +</li> +</ol> +<h3 id="configuration"><a class="header" href="#configuration">Configuration</a></h3> +<ol> +<li> +<p>Create or edit the config file in <code>/etc/turnserver.conf</code>. The relevant +lines, with example values, are:</p> +<pre><code>use-auth-secret +static-auth-secret=[your secret key here] +realm=turn.myserver.org +</code></pre> +<p>See <code>turnserver.conf</code> for explanations of the options. One way to generate +the <code>static-auth-secret</code> is with <code>pwgen</code>:</p> +<pre><code class="language-sh">pwgen -s 64 1 +</code></pre> +<p>A <code>realm</code> must be specified, but its value is somewhat arbitrary. (It is +sent to clients as part of the authentication flow.) It is conventional to +set it to be your server name.</p> +</li> +<li> +<p>You will most likely want to configure coturn to write logs somewhere. The +easiest way is normally to send them to the syslog:</p> +<pre><code class="language-sh">syslog +</code></pre> +<p>(in which case, the logs will be available via <code>journalctl -u coturn</code> on a +systemd system). Alternatively, coturn can be configured to write to a +logfile - check the example config file supplied with coturn.</p> +</li> +<li> +<p>Consider your security settings. TURN lets users request a relay which will +connect to arbitrary IP addresses and ports. The following configuration is +suggested as a minimum starting point:</p> +<pre><code># VoIP traffic is all UDP. There is no reason to let users connect to arbitrary TCP endpoints via the relay. +no-tcp-relay + +# don't let the relay ever try to connect to private IP address ranges within your network (if any) +# given the turn server is likely behind your firewall, remember to include any privileged public IPs too. +denied-peer-ip=10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255 +denied-peer-ip=192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255 +denied-peer-ip=172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255 + +# recommended additional local peers to block, to mitigate external access to internal services. +# https://www.rtcsec.com/article/slack-webrtc-turn-compromise-and-bug-bounty/#how-to-fix-an-open-turn-relay-to-address-this-vulnerability +no-multicast-peers +denied-peer-ip=0.0.0.0-0.255.255.255 +denied-peer-ip=100.64.0.0-100.127.255.255 +denied-peer-ip=127.0.0.0-127.255.255.255 +denied-peer-ip=169.254.0.0-169.254.255.255 +denied-peer-ip=192.0.0.0-192.0.0.255 +denied-peer-ip=192.0.2.0-192.0.2.255 +denied-peer-ip=192.88.99.0-192.88.99.255 +denied-peer-ip=198.18.0.0-198.19.255.255 +denied-peer-ip=198.51.100.0-198.51.100.255 +denied-peer-ip=203.0.113.0-203.0.113.255 +denied-peer-ip=240.0.0.0-255.255.255.255 + +# special case the turn server itself so that client->TURN->TURN->client flows work +# this should be one of the turn server's listening IPs +allowed-peer-ip=10.0.0.1 + +# consider whether you want to limit the quota of relayed streams per user (or total) to avoid risk of DoS. +user-quota=12 # 4 streams per video call, so 12 streams = 3 simultaneous relayed calls per user. +total-quota=1200 +</code></pre> +</li> +<li> +<p>Also consider supporting TLS/DTLS. To do this, add the following settings +to <code>turnserver.conf</code>:</p> +<pre><code># TLS certificates, including intermediate certs. +# For Let's Encrypt certificates, use `fullchain.pem` here. +cert=/path/to/fullchain.pem + +# TLS private key file +pkey=/path/to/privkey.pem + +# Ensure the configuration lines that disable TLS/DTLS are commented-out or removed +#no-tls +#no-dtls +</code></pre> +<p>In this case, replace the <code>turn:</code> schemes in the <code>turn_uris</code> settings below +with <code>turns:</code>.</p> +<p>We recommend that you only try to set up TLS/DTLS once you have set up a +basic installation and got it working.</p> +<p>NB: If your TLS certificate was provided by Let's Encrypt, TLS/DTLS will +not work with any Matrix client that uses Chromium's WebRTC library. This +currently includes Element Android & iOS; for more details, see their +<a href="https://github.com/vector-im/element-android/issues/1533">respective</a> +<a href="https://github.com/vector-im/element-ios/issues/2712">issues</a> as well as the underlying +<a href="https://bugs.chromium.org/p/webrtc/issues/detail?id=11710">WebRTC issue</a>. +Consider using a ZeroSSL certificate for your TURN server as a working alternative.</p> +</li> +<li> +<p>Ensure your firewall allows traffic into the TURN server on the ports +you've configured it to listen on (By default: 3478 and 5349 for TURN +traffic (remember to allow both TCP and UDP traffic), and ports 49152-65535 +for the UDP relay.)</p> +</li> +<li> +<p>If your TURN server is behind NAT, the NAT gateway must have an external, +publicly-reachable IP address.

If advertising +both IPv4 and IPv6 external addresses via the <code>external-ip</code> option, ensure +that the NAT is forwarding both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic to the IPv4 and IPv6 +internal addresses of your TURN server.
