Description: Server daemon and test client for STUN
 The STUN protocol (Simple Traversal of UDP through NATs) is described in the
 IETF RFC 3489, available at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3489.txt.  It's used to
 help clients behind NAT to tunnel incoming calls through. This server is the
 counterpart to help the client identify the NAT and have it open the proper
 ports for it.

Unfortunately the version in Debian/lenny seems to have this brain
dead assumption that you want it to bind to exactly two different IP
addresses (for increased reliability or something). I don't have any
additional public IPv4 addresses to spare.

At least that was the problem I encountered when I installed it
before. I might have been doing something wrong.

Also the home page mentioned above is useless.
