Hello everyone,

Can i use a turn server for a webrtc application without encryption (without ssl certificate).
I mean, the webrtc data is encrypted or do i forget something.
The Signaling have to be encrypted thats important for safety.

The communication between the webrtc client and the TURN server does not need to be encrypted. UDP or TCP can be used for communication to the TURN server.

dtls srtp is mandated for webrtc media   , is it not? 
even signalling is https. 

What specific case allows unencrypted communication between webrtc client and TURN server? 

Thanks

TURN servers do not decrypt the streams they relay, nor do they have the ability to do so.  All webrtc traffic through a TURN server is encrypted via the DTLS-SRTP handshake that happens when the peer connection is established.
