It does not depend, that just happens to be an awfully convenient STUN server. You are welcome to host your own. It's not hard

JohnMcLear commented 11 years ago

Absolutely, but afaik if I roll this out to clients there browser will make requests to a Google server right?

benbrittain commented 11 years ago

yes

JohnMcLear commented 11 years ago

Might be worth making that clear in the README :) Just for the sake of protecting privacy n stuff..

benbrittain commented 11 years ago

good idea. No information other than some synchronization stuff should go through that server though. It's just used because people are hidden behind NATs.

JohnMcLear commented 11 years ago

Agreed :) But still, my users would kill me if any of their traffic hit a Google service! Thanks for the good work btw, gonna begin integrating as a plugin on Etherpad, had a try last night but got hit by a 404ing blob

You can run your own stune server.
