Ultimately, the same thing applies to all internet services. If you're paying for a service by watching advertisements, they have to show them to you. I'll be an additional line in your mail inbox, mixed with the messages. Or an ad in-between the posts of social media. In between the list of news articles. And of course for AI serviced that include advertising, it needs to be the same.

I can log in with lynx... It sets a few cookies and then I'm logged in... Though I haven't tried signing up, if you mean sign up as in register a new account.

It connects to the same Fediverse. But it has a few filters and features added. And the Piefed instances block some known unpleasant instances by default. And it doesn't pull in all the content unless someone subscribes... So it should be a bit better. But underneath, it's the same network and content.

You're welcome! Glad I could help, happy self-hosting ☺️ Hope it also forwards everything correctly and the chat client/app works, too.

Check your indentation. I'm not sure if Lemmy is messing with that, but there seems to be an additional erraneous space before turn_username and password in your config. And the dash should (I guess) be indented two spaces further than the previous line and then one space after the dash. I'm not sure if it's that.

Alright. I believe that means you need to fix your DNS.
"turn.domainexample.com" is pointing to a different server, and not the one running coturn.

Do you use Cloudflare as a DNS provider? I mean I don't know how that works, since I've never used it... But judging by the following documentation: https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/manage-dns-records/reference/proxied-dns-records/

I believe you need a dedicated record for the turn subdomain that's not "Proxied", but "DNS only".

But(!) there seems to be a caveat. There is a note on that page, saying: "If you have multiple A/AAAA records on the same name and at least one of them is proxied, Cloudflare will treat all A/AAAA records on this name as being proxied." I believe that means you can't point one of the subdomains directly at your VPS. At least not with Cloudflare DNS.

Edit: I'm not sure though, why putting in the IP address doesn't work... I think that should work. I'm not sure what Dendrite does in the background. Have you added the correct secret or username/password and set the correct transport type (TCP/UDP)? Maybe you could add the port number if it's non-standard...

Once the TURN testing tools I linked, work with the domain name: You should be able to fill out the turn section in config/dendrite.yaml with that. It should be something like turn:turn.domainexample.com?transport=udp.

Maybe your DNS isn't pointing to the correct IP? You could try pinging it, or use the command dig A turn.domainexample.com and see if it returns the correct IP for the VPS.

Concerning your Edit:

You might now want to try putting in the correct address into config/dendrite.yaml. That has a "turn" section. You could try and add an URL with the IP address (instead of a domain name) in "turn_uris".

I mean I'm probably the wrong person to ask. I don't use Cloudflare. And I also skipped Dendrite and went for the Conduit server... What's your reasoning to use Cloudflare in the first place? Maybe you want to get rid of it? Or add another supdomain to your DNS that directly points at your server, and have the turn_uri be that, so you don't have to put IP numbers into that section...

I am getting feedback but i am unsure if it is saying it can connect

It does connect if you get a line with "srflx" or "relay". Otherwise it does not connect. And your whole coturn server might not be reachable at all.

I am using cloudflare to setup dns record for coturn on my purchased domain. Is that still an issue?

Well, that depends on how you set it up. What domain name are you using for coturn? (The one you put in the tester.) Where does it point to? To your cloudflare tunnel? To your real IP? And if it's pointing at cloudflare's endpoint: Do you have a paid subscription and set up Spectrum to forward the packets?

Have you checked your coturn server works correctly? And answers requests in the first place?

See if you get some lines with type "srflx" or "relay".

(And I believe coturn needs to bypass cloudflare. Unless you have an enterprise subscription, it doesn't do raw TCP/UDP connections. So TURN can't work through a free cloudflare tunnel. You need ports 3478, ... and port-min to port-max open on your VPS. And DNS (at least for coturn's subdomain) point to the correct IP of your VPS.)

I'm currently not doing much freelance work or working in any customer-related department... So I don't use any CRM. But I heard some freelance programmers like InvoiceNinja. I just got a bit interested in organizing some stuff. So I started evaluating some knowledge-management and (Free Software) enterprise solutions. But I'm less interested in the CRM part. And I didn't find any awesome match, yet.

I think a major part of getting "beat" is they fought the USSR in the east and simultaneously the USA and UK in the west. I mean the war against Stalin wasn't going super smoothy. But it went on since 1941 already. And it really went south for the nazis when the USA joined WW2.
