[1.12.0] - 2026-05-16

ATTENTION: This release introduces important changes to how TURN authentication and permissions are handled. These changes make the system more secure. This release maintains backwards compatibility. However, backwards compatibility will be removed in the next release. So, please plan accordingly.

TURN permission handling changes

By default, TURN will not relay traffic to private IPs. If you need to relay traffic to private IPs, please use allow_restricted_peer_cidrs which is explained in config-sample.yaml and replicated below.

#   # list of restricted peer CIDRs (loopback, link-local (unicast, multicast), multicast, private, unspecified) to allow access to.
#   # By default (i. e. empty list), all restricted peer CIDRs are denied access.
#   # When not empty, only the specified CIDRs are allowed access.
#   # Note that this check is applied to restricted peer CIDRs only.
#   allow_restricted_peer_cidrs:
#     - 10.0.0.0/8
#     - 192.168.0.0/16

That list can be paired with a deny list which takes precedence if there is an overlap.

#   # list of peer CIDRs to deny access to.
#   # This applies to all peer CIDRs, including restricted ones.
#   # Deny list takes precedence over allow list.
#   deny_peer_cidrs:
#     - 10.0.0.0/8
#     - 192.168.0.0/16

Relevant PRs: #4505

TURN authentication handling changes

TURN credentials now have a TTL (Time-To-Live) beyond which they are not valid to join a room. We recommend rotating your TURN authentication secrets to ensure older credentials are rendered stale and not usable.

#   # TTL of the TURN credentials in seconds - defaults to 300
#   ttl_seconds: 300

Please note that the TTL is always used in constructing the credentials. So, a value of 0 will create credentials that expire immediately.
