You have some web page material in English, and some material in either Spanish or Portuguese. You might want to check everything twice before posting on HN.

What happens when TURN is inevitably needed? Many people are behind something like CG or symmetrical NAT with no direct way to talk to each other. There are no reliable, fast AND free TURN servers (IMO), and even semi-private relays can quickly become overwhelmed or too costly to operate.

Hi, I built a plugin-based P2P socket system from scratch that supports TCP punch, UDP punch, random probe, TURN, and other such systems. It includes a full stack from networking, signalling, and naming, all based on open infrastructure. It's open source and licensed under MIT: warpgate.io

Looks great. How long until it does P2P via Bluetooth? Like Bump did before it was shut down by Google.
