[1.x] ipv4/ipv6 public IP confusion about janus-gateway

[alexamirante]

Why don't you just put the STUN server's IPv4 address in the config, so that name resolution is not performed and you always get your v4 srflx candidates?

[lminiero]

Therefore I would like to make the proposal to resolve and connect to any STUN or TURN server via both v4 and v6 (if enabled) and add all responses to the address pool.

Unfortunately that's not possible, because we use libnice and you can only specify a single STUN server to use. The libnice library always expects an IP address for the STUN server to use, which is why we resolve any address ourselves if you provide a domain name, and we use the first result we get, which in your case probably is an IPv6 address. As such, the workaround Alex suggested would address your requirement.

Thank you both for your responses.
I will probably go that way then, although it disables STUN usage for ipv6 completely (which is hopefully no problem in the field).

You mentioned the public IPv6 IP you know already as it's local (which makes sense, it's what IPv6 was created for, not needing NATs), so I guess candidates for that address are already gathered. Closing the issue.
