Professional TURN Servers for WebRTC

WebRTC is great when two peers can connect directly.

But real networks are messy.

Firewalls, NAT, mobile networks, corporate networks, routers, and restrictive providers can all get in the way. When a direct peer-to-peer connection fails, the application needs a reliable relay path.

That is where TURN matters.

fastTURN provides professional STUN and TURN services for SIP, ICE, and WebRTC applications, with servers tuned for fast ping and handshake times.

Keep real-time connections working

For most WebRTC applications, a relay server may be needed when a direct socket between peers is not possible.

fastTURN is built for applications where connection setup and reliability matter:

video calls,

voice calls,

screen sharing,

WebRTC apps,

SIP clients,

browser-based communication,

real-time collaboration.

The goal is simple:

help users connect, even when their network does not make it easy.

Fast routing, low friction

fastTURN uses geo-location based auto-routing to connect users to a nearby server, with the lowest latency.

That makes it useful when you do not want to operate and monitor your own TURN infrastructure across regions.

Add the TURN credentials to your WebRTC or SIP application, test the connection, and let the relay service handle the difficult network cases.
