Dear Maintainer,

Coturn does not work (audio/video connections are not possible) when started as a service when the machine boots. After a manual restart, it works well.

Here is what I see in coturn startup:

The systemD service is looking at:

After=network.target

I wonder if changing that to :

After=network-online.target

would not resolve this issue

I am experiencing the same problem.  My guess is the root cause is that coturn
is trying to start too quickly, before the network interface has been brought
up.  The fix is probably to add a service dependency so that everything that
is needed is up before it tries to start.
