A TURN (Traversal Using Relays around NAT) server is a network entity that facilitates the relaying of network traffic. When two devices are unable to establish a direct connection due to or firewall restrictions, they use a TURN server as an intermediary. The TURN server temporarily stores the data from the sending device and forwards it to the receiving device.
TURN servers are particularly important in and interactive video conferencing applications that use protocols like .
This process helps in overcoming the limitations imposed by NAT, which can change the public IP address and port number of a packet and make it difficult for the receiving device to interpret where the data originally came from
