Cloudflare has launched its TURN (Traversal Using Relays around NAT) service, now generally available for all accounts, to enhance real-time communication by addressing connectivity and privacy issues. TURN servers act as intermediaries for video calls when direct connections are hindered by local network conditions. The service operates on Cloudflare's anycast network, which provides global coverage and low latency, essential for real-time applications. The TURN protocol improves upon earlier solutions like STUN by reliably relaying traffic and minimizing delays, which is crucial for maintaining call quality. Additionally, it enhances user privacy by masking IP addresses and network details, making it suitable for sensitive communications. The service is designed to auto-scale and is available in over 330 cities, ensuring efficient performance without the need for complex server management. Cloudflare's TURN service is billed based on usage, with the first terabyte of data free each month. This offering aims to simplify the integration of TURN into existing applications, allowing developers to enhance their real-time communication capabilities easily.
