💖 STUND(8) — the STUN girlie 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair, we're talking about stund — the STUN protocol (Simple Traversal of UDP through NATs) Server. yes that's the whole name, she's got a long government name and she EARNED it. ✨

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

stund [-v] [-h IP Address] [-a Secondary IP Address ] [-p port ] [-o
port ]  [-b  ] [-m  ]

so here's the tea, and I mean the actual structural tea: a STUN server needs two IP addresses and two ports. two. not one. not "ehh one's fine". two. the whole personality is duality. 🦋

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

STUN Servers are literally out here helping clients behind NAT tunnel incoming calls through. that's the job. that's the gig.

and stund is the counterpart — the bestie on the server side — whose whole thing is helping the client identify the NAT and have it open the proper ports for it. it's giving matchmaker. it's giving "i know a guy". 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

one bullet per flag, no skipping, we do not leave the girlies behind:

  • -v — Verbose output. she talks more. we love a chatty icon. 💬
  • -h <IP Address> — Define the Main IP Address. this is your primary girl. 🌟
  • -a <IP Address> — Define the Second IP Address. yes you need her too, remember? two IPs. always two. 🫶
  • -p <Port> — Set the primary port. the default port value is 3478. 🎀
  • -o <Port> — Set the secondary port. the default port value is 3479. 🍓
  • -b — Detach the process and makes the program run at the background. ghost mode activated, she's still there, you just can't see her. 💀
  • -m <Port> — Sets a starting port for the STERM server. 🧚
  • --help — Prints useful help. when in doubt, ask her directly. no cap. 🙈

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

say your NIC's IP addresses are 10.0.1.150 and 10.0.1.151 — the proper and default use would be:

stund  -h 10.0.1.150 -a 10.0.1.151

and if you want her to dip out of your terminal and keep doing her thing quietly, add the -b option to detach the process:

stund  -h 10.0.1.150 -a 10.0.1.151 -b

lowkey the cleanest little one-two combo. slay. 🔥
