For video calling i am using Phonertc (based on Webrtc)

I set up turnserver in Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS I followed the instruction from https://github.com/coturn/rfc5766-turn-server/

i dowloaded turnserver-3.2.5.9-debian-wheezy-ubuntu-mint-x86-64bits.tar.gz
from http://turnserver.open-sys.org/downloads/v3.2.5.9/ and setup according to provided instruction.

After installing i change the /etc/turnserver.conf and uncomment following lines:

fignerprint
lt-cred-mech
realm (i set my domain name)

on etc/turnuserdb.conf i added plain username and password

when i run turnserver using command 'turnserver' it prints log as

i have setup ice servers in client as

iceServers: [
       {
         url: 'stun:stun.l.google.com:19302'

        },
        {
          url: self.config.turn.host,
          username: self.config.turn.username,
          password: self.config.turn.password
        }]

Here, when user calls from mobile, web user is supposed to see the video from mobile device. And it works fine on wifi network Now the problem is when i tried to call from 3g network or 4g network call will be established but there is no transfer of data(video). Screen gets black.

I also tried to check different link to check if my turnserver is running. Easy way to test TURN server and it says that the turnserver is not running.

I am confused if really my turnserver is not running or switching between stun and turn is not working.

i might be worng but I think you are setting the username/pass in the wrong place – mido
will u please suggest me where should i add it. according to their instruction i found that i should add flat username and password in etc/turnuserdb.conf – Tsujit Pathak
"sudo turnserver -a -o -v -n --no-dtls --no-tls -u test:test -r "someRealm" this is the smallest command I can think of for running the TURN server\ – mido
i tried it, but still its not working in 3G and 4G network. do u have any idea why 3g and 4g data transfer is not working – Tsujit Pathak
i configured TURN server in public ip and now its working fine. – Tsujit Pathak

i was having problem because my turnserver was not running in a public ip. i installed turnserver in an instance having public ip and access it through other network and now its working fine.

I think the problem might be the url config. Instead of 'url', you should use 'urls'. 

iceServers: [
   {
     urls: 'stun:stun.l.google.com:19302'

    },
    {
      urls: self.config.turn.host,
      username: self.config.turn.username,
      password: self.config.turn.password
    }]

'url' is being deprecated. See here for more information: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/RTCIceServer/urls
