Good day Everyone! I've been trying for quite a while to send packets p2p using UDP and GCDAsyncUDPSocket library. So i found an open source library to connect to STUN server and keep external port open. It works quite well and i've already had success with sending data in local network. (After having trouble with own router which refused to connect p2p via udp in local network - still no trouble with Android created network)
The problem occurs when i try to send data using UDP hole punching.
STUNClient: https://github.com/soulfly/STUN-iOS
My modified code for UDPServer:
ViewController.h:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "STUNClient.h"
@interface ViewController : UIViewController <STUNClientDelegate>
{
IBOutlet UITextField *portField;
IBOutlet UIButton *startStopButton;
IBOutlet UIWebView *webView;
}
- (IBAction)startStop:(id)sender;
- (IBAction)startStun:(id)sender;
@end
ViewController.m
#import "ViewController.h"
#import "GCDAsyncUdpSocket.h"
#import "DDLog.h"
// Log levels: off, error, warn, info, verbose
static const int ddLogLevel = LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE;
#define FORMAT(format, ...) [NSString stringWithFormat:(format), ##__VA_ARGS__]
@interface ViewController ()
{
BOOL isRunning;
GCDAsyncUdpSocket *udpSocket;
NSMutableString *log;
STUNClient* stunClient;
}
@end
@implementation ViewController
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
if ((self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil]))
{
log = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
// Setup our socket.
// The socket will invoke our delegate methods using the usual delegate paradigm.
// However, it will invoke the delegate methods on a specified GCD delegate dispatch queue.
//
// Now we can configure the delegate dispatch queues however we want.
// We could simply use the main dispatch queue, so the delegate methods are invoked on the main thread.
// Or we could use a dedicated dispatch queue, which could be helpful if we were doing a lot of processing.
//
// The best approach for your application will depend upon convenience, requirements and performance.
//
// For this simple example, we're just going to use the main thread.
stunClient= [[STUNClient alloc] init];
udpSocket = [[GCDAsyncUdpSocket alloc] initWithDelegate:self delegateQueue:dispatch_get_main_queue()];
}
return self;

What I do:
Turn Client and Server app ON.
Push STUN Button - which launches `- (IBAction)startStun:(id)sender;
- Manually input external ip and port from STUN server in ClientApp.
- Send.
Maybe it is router problems? Or i do not completely understand hole punching methodology?
