"ICE Servers" below.
If your server is behind NAT, then you should configure your NAT device to
forward, at a minimum, ports 8443 and 1194. In addition, you should add
the option `-turn 192.0.2.1:1194` to Galène's command line, where `192.0.2.1`
is your NAT's external (global) IPv4 address.
If your server is behind NAT, then the best solution is to run an external
TURN server that is not behind NAT (see "ICE Servers" below). If that is
not possible, then you should configure your NAT device to forward, at
a minimum, ports 8443 (TCP) and 1194 (TCP and UDP). In addition, you
should add the option `-turn 203.0.113.1:1194` to Galène's command line,

ICE is the NAT and firewall traversal protocol used by WebRTC. ICE can
make use of two kinds of servers to help with NAT traversal: STUN servers,
that simply help punching holes in NATs, and TURN servers, that serve as
relays for traffic. TURN is a superset of STUN: no STUN server is
necessary if a TURN server is available.

Galène includes an IPv4-only TURN server, which is controlled by the
`-turn` command-line option. If its value is set to the empty string
`""`, then the built-in server is disabled. If its value is a colon
followed with a port number, for example `:1194`, then the TURN server
will listen on all public IPv4 addresses of the local host, over UDP and
TCP. If the value of this option is a socket address, such as
`192.0.2.1:1194`, then the TURN server will listen on all addresses of the
local host but assume that the address seen by the clients is the one
given in the option; this is the recommended configuration when running
behind NAT with port forwarding. The default value is `-turn auto`, which
enables the TURN server on port 1194 if there is no
