Hi, all community. 
While developing we faced one task which include your product.

1)The simply idea run current turn server on the Azure VMs which has only one public IP.
Current server can work behind the nat. So will we have any problem with runing turn server under the azure nat?

2)And I am interesting in ability to scale count of my turn servers "autoscale".
Tell me, if I`ll have some problems with this?

3)one more simple question
Azure suggest me endpoint for my VM.  and max count for my endpoints is 150. this is means that only 150 ports will normaly work with, am I right? 
My plan to give users ability communicate with each other. And I don`t know count of user, maybe 1000 or 10000. 150 is not enough.

Waiting for answers. Thanks for all )

Andrew, I have no idea what "Azure" is.

I can say that the TURN Server can work behind a NAT - but only behind a very special kind of NAT, the one like in Amazon EC2: where the IP addresses are mapped one-to-one and where the port numbers are preserved across the NAT boundary.

The TURN Server was designed as a network entity working in the public Internet with public IP addresses. The Amazon EC2 extension is to some extend a "hack" that explores the special Amazon EC2 NAT features. The TURN Server cannot work behind a "normal" usual NAT.

Regards,
Oleg

FYI: Azure is Microsoft's cloud offering.

Silvia, thanks for pointing that out :) Somehow I am not aware of that, I've been mostly working with XenServer and VMWare. There are lots of new VMs around... it is getting pretty fragmented.

Regards,
Oleg
