Function without third party server/service

Is there a way to run this, without relying on a third party server/service?

By third party service, are you referring to the STUN server ?

If you're referring to the Go executable, one of my next goal is to embed it in a static HTML page (via WebAssembly), so it can be easier to use: https://github.com/Antonito/gfile/tree/master/_client/web

@Antonito I was referring to the STUN server, yes. If a STUN server can't be avoided, how about adding a command line parameter to specify it? Something like --stun=stunserver.example.com:1932, for example.

@Fastidious It's a good idea! This feature has actually been discussed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/bap29y/gfile_a_webrtc_based_file_transfer_utility_in_go/ekd9rbi/ If I'm not mistaken, it is possible to avoid using a STUN server when the two clients are on the same local network.

I'll probably work on it later this week, or I'll gladly accept a PR 😃

I believed we still need a server for local network WebRTC connection. Although it can be a simple self-hosted websocket server instead of third party STUN server.
