In investigating some situations, we've come to realize that configuring TURN server ports ought to be somewhat restricted.

Starting in Chrome 91, and possibly backporting into earlier versions as we verify that it doesn't break things, we intend to only permit connecting to port 443 and port numbers above 1024.

This is only for the TURN interface right, not for the relay ports?

It only affects the port number that is part of the turn: URL, yes.
There is no influence on the port numbers (local or remote) that can be relayed using TURN.

Even though it is not in Blink, this is a web facing change, so it should be posted (even as just an announcement) to blink-dev as well, I think...

And a ChromeStatus entry would be nice...

Done, although the process steps don't seem to make much sense in this case.

Thank you, I agree an announcement is sufficient.
