And now the internet got worse because you're no longer have technical freedom due to these NAT popping up everywhere. For example, previously if you want to release a video/voice chat app, you just release it and be done with it. Now it won't work like that due to NAT, so you'll have to maintain some STUN and TURN servers just to make your app usable to general public. Think about how many potential innovation got stifled because of added costs and complexity turned some people away before they even started.
- Sunspark 5y agoI agree. It makes things much harder than it should be. I wanted to try installing the module into my router so it would pass the WebRTC test for STUN/TURN and perhaps make video even more efficient to allow point to point connection instead of having everything be relayed through a tertiary server, but there was no documentation and having never set up a STUN/TURN server before I couldn't get it to work. So I am dependent on what a third party has set up to facilitate connectivity. In the old days, you'd just connect to an IP address and that was it.
