Support

Install

npm i stun

Usage

const stun = require('stun');

stun.request('stun.l.google.com:19302', (err, res) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } else {
    const { address } = res.getXorAddress();
    console.log('your ip', address);
  }
});

// or with promise

const res = await stun.request('stun.l.google.com:19302');
console.log('your ip', res.getXorAddress().address);

createMessage(type: number [, transaction: Buffer]): StunRequest

Creates an StunRequest object of the specified type with random transaction field. The type argument is a number that should be a message type. See constants below.

createTransaction(): Buffer

Create transaction id for STUN message. Follow RFC5389.

createServer(options: Object): StunServer

• options.type: string

The type of socket. Must be 'udp4' or 'udp6'. Required.

• options.socket: dgram.Socket

Creates a StunServer object of the specified type. The type argument should be 'udp' at the moment. An optional socket argument should be instance of dgram.Socket. If socket is not specifed, the dgram.Socket will be created with udp4 type and will bound to the "all interfaces" address on a random port.

validateFingerprint(message: StunMessage): bool

Check a FINGERPRINT attribute if it is specifed.

validateMessageIntegrity(message: StunMessage, key: string): bool

Check a MESSAGE_INTEGRITY attribute if it is specifed.

stunServer.on('bindingResponse', (msg) => {
  if (!stun.validateFingerprint(msg)) {
    // do stuff..
  }

  if (!stun.validateMessageIntegrity(msg, icePassword)) {
    // do stuff...
  }
})

request(url: string, [options: RequestOptions], callback: function): void

request(url: string, [options: RequestOptions]): Promise

Create a request STUN_BINDING_REQUEST to stun server, follow RFC5389. The first argument may be a host (stun.example.com), host with port (stun.example.com:1234) or host with port and protocol (stun://stun.example.com:1234). By default, port is 3478.

All options described below are optional.

• options.server: StunServer - A stun server to receive responses.
• options.socket: dgram.Socket - A UDP socket over which the message will be send.
• options.message: StunMessage - A STUN_BINDING_REQUEST message to send.
• options.timeout: number - Initial retransmission timeout (RTO) in ms, default is 500ms.
• options.maxTimeout: number- Maximal RTO, default is infinity.
• options.retries: number - Maximal the number of retries, default is 6

The last argument is a function with 2 arguments err and res. It's follow nodejs callback style. The second argument is instance of StunMessage.

encode(message: StunMessage): Buffer

Encode StunRequest or StunResponse into the Buffer.

decode(message: Buffer): StunResponse

Decode the Buffer into a StunResponse.

const socket = dgram.createSocket({ type: 'udp4' });

socket.on('message', (message) => {
  const response = stun.decode(message);
  // do stuff ...
});
