  Make sure cloudflare proxy is disabled on that DNS record.

    Just barely fixed that! Thanks! I have another issue thst I fommented about though:

    Progress has been made!

    So I got it working with the domain name. The turn testing tools now respond with relay and pin point the vps server! Nice!

    However when I put the info into the matrix dendrite.yaml it still crashes. The logs say

    “Invalid config file: yaml: line 210: did not find expected key”

    “Invalid config file: yaml: line 206: did not find expected " - " indicator”

    Line 210 and 206 refer to the turn section which is formatted:

    turn: turn_user_lifetime: “5m” turn_uris: - turn:turn.exampledomain.com?transport=udp - turn:turn.exampledomain.com?transport=tcp

    turn_username: user
    turn_password: password

      Throw the whole thing into a YAML linter: www.yamllint.com and see what it says. Likely a spacing/indent format error or something like that.

  Concerning your Edit:

  You might now want to try putting in the correct address into config/dendrite.yaml. That has a "turn" section. You could try and add an URL with the IP address in "turn_uris".

  I mean I'm probably the wrong person to ask. I don't use Cloudflare. And I also skipped Dendrite and went for the Conduit server... What's your reasoning to use Cloudflare in the first place? Maybe you want to get rid of it? Or add another supdomain to your DNS that directly points at your server, and have the turn_uri be that, so you don't have to put IP numbers into that section...

  I am getting feedback but i am unsure if it is saying it can connect

  It does connect if you get a line with "srflx" or "relay". Otherwise it does not connect. And your whole coturn server might not be reachable at all.

  I am using cloudflare to setup dns record for coturn on my purchased domain. Is that still an issue?

  Well, that depends on how you set it up. What domain name are you using for coturn? (The one you put in the tester.) Where does it point to? To your cloudflare tunnel? To your real IP? And if it's pointing at cloudflare's endpoint: Do you have a paid subscription and set up Spectrum to forward the packets?

    Sorry I jusy recently updated my comment. I was able to get it to say “relay” when using the regular public ip and port for my vps. It doesn’t work if I use the domain I created for it though “turn.domainexample.com”

    The domain name should be pointed to the vps public ip type A

    Paid subscription? No I only have the cloudflare domain and the vps subscription. Do I need the subscription to get this working? 😮‍💨

      Try filling out the turn section in config/dendrite.yaml with that. It should be something like turn:turn.domainexample.com?transport=udp. And make sure the TURN testing tools I linked work with the same URI. Or maybe your DNS isn't pointing to the correct IP? You could try pinging it, or do dig A turn.domainexample.com and see if it returns the correct IP for the VPS.

        I did fill that out, anytime I do matrix crashes and I think the logs say something along the lines of not being able to find the turn server. I just tried it now with the vps ip and port and it still caused matrix to crash.

        The turn tesying tools don’t work with the URI at all its only the ip and port they work with.

        When I use the dig A command it gives me different ips than the vps ip.
