STUN server address and working without STUN at all about libpeer HOT 4 CLOSED

This server is provided by libnice. Of course you can change to google stun server.

I am not sure whether it is possible to avoid using stun server or not, but if you want to use local isolated network, you can consider run a stun server on your machine. The stun server has been built in pear/third_party/libnice/builddir/stun/tools.
Then modify STUN_ADDR in pear/src/peer_connection.c and iceServers of pear/examples/surveillance/index.html to your local IP address.

And if you want to use google stun server, you need to try to build the Google WebRTC native code. It will generate a stun server binary.

My question was not exact and clear enough as I am newbie to WebRTC.
Problem was that examples was not working if I set iceServers = [] in index.html
After some digging I found that enabling mDNS solves the problem.
But while it works in Chromium/Opera, it doesn't in Firefox, possibly due to this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1691189. I use Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 and browser binaries from official ubuntu repos.
Have you had any experience using pear with Firefox?

I have tried using Firefox, but it doesn't work.
If there is a candidate in SDP is xxxx.local, it means you need to enable mDNS. When I tested with Firefox, I checked there is no candidate using mDNS, so I guess it has nothing to do with mDNS. I'm still debugging

You can check your offer SDP with browser console by modifying code as bellow

diff --git a/examples/surveillance/index_html.h b/examples/surveillance/index_html.h

In our project we disable mdns. Firefox indeed has strange behavior with mdns, but the problem may be relaxed by disabling mdns obfuscation (go to about:config and turn off media.peerconnection.ice.obfuscate_host_addresses)
There were more problems in supporting Firefox, I can share my expirience in separate issue if you are interested. Also you can investigate my fork here https://github.com/aldoshkind/pear
