## Options

Example: `&stunonly`

| Value      | Description                     |
| ---------- | ------------------------------- |
| (no value) | Enable STUN-only (disable TURN) |

## Details

* Filters ICE to exclude TURN/relay candidates, preventing use of TURN servers.
* Useful for testing direct P2P connectivity; can reduce latency when direct paths work.
* Risk: connections behind strict NAT/firewalls may fail without TURN fallback.
* Combine with [`&icefilter`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/turn-and-stun-parameters/and-icefilter) for custom filtering, or with [`&lanonly`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/turn-and-stun-parameters/and-lanonly) for local-only tests.
