I've been diving into WebRTC to set up peer-to-peer connections, and I recently had a big 'aha!' moment about ICE (Interactive Connectivity Establishment). Initially, it felt like a mystery to me, but I finally got that its main role is to help navigate through NATs and firewalls, which is crucial for P2P connections. Learning about the various candidate types and how STUN and TURN servers come into play really helped me understand the complexity of it all. Has anyone else faced challenges with ICE, or do you have any tips for optimizing it? I'd love to hear your experiences!

I created a small chat application using WebRTC and ICE, and while it works great on my local network, I've run into problems where certain devices can't get any candidates when trying to connect over the internet.
Debugging WebRTC can be a real headache, especially with how different browsers interpret it. I've found that Firefox tends to be the trickiest with WebRTC issues—it's just not as reliable as Chrome or others in that department.
