TURN relay

A fallback route when direct connectivity is unavailable.

TURN forwards traffic between the client and host through a relay server. It can help when ICE cannot establish a direct route. The backend is still required for connection setup.

An encrypted UDP connection between client and host through a relay

A relay adds a network hop and may increase latency or limit available bandwidth. Session traffic remains transport-encrypted; the relay can observe connection metadata.

Relay support is experimental. A failed direct connection may still fail to connect, and current native relay transport requires UDP. Prefer a working direct route where available.
