Could this tool check if TURN configuration is working ? #111

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I didn't exactly understand how TURN is supposed to interact with synapse, but I have found it difficult to configure it correctly and also to test if everything is working. Currently to test my TURN setup I have to call multiple users on different home-servers and over different networks. I guess there is a better way to test this and I thought that maybe it could be done in this project.

Describe the solution you'd like As I didn't exactly understand how TURN works I cannot say exactly what would be the ideal solution, but I guess some more fields in the json with the result of the test would be perfect. I know this tool is able to check in some ways if a TURN server works.

the problem with testing TURN is that you need to authenticate as a matrix client - so (aside from the fact that it doesn't really fit into the remit of a federation tester), you'd have to hand over login detains for your matrix server to the test tool.

Basically I think this is a bit out of scope for the federation tester currently; you might look at tools like https://test.voip.librepush.net/ instead, though I can't vouch for its reliability currently.
