Which general topic do you have

I just have a question about the correct configuration of the ports required by Nextcloud Talk. I have just installed Nextcloud Talk as an app on my NC server (bare metal). I have also installed the Android NC Talk app on a smartphone.

Due to the reference (GitHub - nextcloud/all-in-one: 📦 The official Nextcloud installation method. Provides easy deployment and maintenance with most features included in this one Nextcloud instance.) to the STUN port (TCP/UDP 3478) for the Talk container, I initially opened it in my firewall (pfsense) for incoming traffic to the NC server.

With that i was able to call in both direction (smartphone from mobile connetcion) do Browser Client in LAN and vice versa.

Then i decided to close STUN port (TCP/UDP 3478) im my pfsense and i am still able to make calls in both directions. So for me it is completely unnecessary to open the STUN port (TCP/UDP 3478) in the firewall.

Does anyone here knows for what usecase the STUN Port is needed?
