The GitHub README identifies John Selbie as the author and describes the package as C++ server and client code. SourceForge project metadata records the project as registered on 2012-02-08, and the official file history shows early 1.1.x and 1.2.x tarballs through the 2010s. The GitHub README shows version 1.2.17 dated 2024-06-30. ### Adoption history The input package facts list STUNTMAN in Homebrew, Nix, and openSUSE/Zypper. That is modest but meaningful adoption for a specialized network protocol tool. The official site publishes source packages, Windows binaries, older macOS binaries, and a public STUN service, which made the project usable both as installable software and as a reference service for clients. ### How it is used The package provides stunserver, stunclient, and stuntestcode. The README says running stunserver without arguments listens on port 3478 on all adapters, while stunclient can query a STUN server to inspect observed public addressing. The server supports UDP and TCP over IPv4 and IPv6, basic and full modes, and optional JSON configuration through --configfile when multiple protocol or IP-family configurations need to run in one process. ### Why package nerds care STUNTMAN matters to package nerds because it is a practical, buildable STUN reference package: a server, client, tests, man-style docs, and portable C++ source that distributions can ship without a larger VoIP stack. For NAT traversal debugging, having stunclient and stunserver available from a package manager is valuable because it turns a WebRTC/VoIP protocol dependency into a simple command-line diagnostic. ### Timeline - 2012: SourceForge records the STUNTMAN project as registered on 2012-02-08. - 2012: SourceForge file history lists STUNTMAN 1.2.0 on 2012-12-12. - 2017: SourceForge listed STUNTMAN 1.2.11 with RFC 5389, 5769, 5780, and legacy RFC 3489 compatibility. - 2024: The GitHub README identifies version 1.2.17 dated 2024-06-30. ### Related projects - The official site links related NAT traversal projects such as Pion, libnice, and JSTUN. - coturn is a related STUN/TURN server commonly packaged for NAT traversal infrastructure. ### Sources - - - - - input.source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for stuntman.
