Yeah… I finally came to a conclusion to just disable Coturn and proceed with using the ejabberd stun/turn server. I’m lucky I have a domain name, so I went with [How to set up ejabberd video & voice calling / ProcessOne](https://www.process-one.net/blog/how-to-set-up-ejabberd-video-voice-calling/)

For anyone following this; once coturn is removed (deactivated) please also do not forget to:

a. disable `Automatically manage audio/video call setup` in ejabberd configuration under plinth  
b. run cockpit and activate ‘coturn-freedombox’ service in networking \> firewall settings  
c. if you have a router/modem make sure relevant ports are forwarded  
d. I’m sharing my config below:

```auto
listen:
 ...
- port: 3478
  transport: udp
  module: ejabberd_stun
  use_turn: true
  turn_min_port: 49152
  turn_max_port: 50175
  turn_ip: <your_static_ip_goes_here>
  auth_type: user
- port: 5349
  transport: tcp
  module: ejabberd_stun
  use_turn: true
  tls: true
  turn_min_port: 49152
  turn_max_port: 50175
  ip: "::"
  turn_ip: <your_static_ip_goes_here>
...
modules:
  mod_disco: {}
...
  mod_stun_disco:
    credentials_lifetime: 1000d
    secret: <whateveritis>
    services:
    - host: <your_domain.com>
      port: 3478
      type: stun
      transport: tcp
      restricted: false
    - host: <your_domain.com>
      port: 3478
      type: stun
      transport: udp
      restricted: false
    - host: <your_domain.com>
      port: 3478
      type: turn
      transport: tcp
      restricted: false
    - host: <your_domain.com>
      port: 3478
      type: turn
      transport: udp
      restricted: false
...

```

Once ejabberd.yml is edited, dont forget to `sudo systemctl restart ejabberd`

Please note, my configuration works where I have a static IP and a domain name.  
Hope it helps (anyone).

Regards,

Ged.
