    This isn't true.

    In 2017 appear.in published some numbers. They saw ~15% were not able to do P2P. https://medium.com/@fippo/what-kind-of-turn-server-is-being-...

    Reading your stackoverflow link my guess is that you aren't using STUN. A P2P connection can't be established without a NAT hole punch.

    Also if possible I would avoid the terms `Full-cone NAT` and `Symmetric NAT` they don't do a good job of describing what is actually happening. NAT Mapping/NAT Filtering is the best way to describe it. I wrote a little bit about it here [0]. To see what type of NAT you have try stun-nat-behaviour[1]

    If you test your NAT on the destination via a tool like https://github.com/pion/stun/tree/master/cmd/stun-nat-behaviour, what does it report for mapping and filtering?
