Custom TURN domains

Last updated Sep 25, 2026 Cloudflare Realtime TURN service supports using custom domains for UDP, and TCP - but not TLS protocols. Custom domains do not affect any of the performance of Cloudflare Realtime TURN and is set up via a simple CNAME DNS record on your domain.

Setting up a CNAME record

To use custom domains for TURN, you must create a CNAME DNS record pointing to turn.cloudflare.com.

Caution

Do not resolve the address of turn.cloudflare.com or stun.cloudflare.com or use an IP address as the value you input to your DNS record. Only CNAME records are supported.

Any DNS provider, including Cloudflare DNS can be used to set up a CNAME for custom domains.

Note

If Cloudflare's authoritative DNS service is used, the record must be set to DNS-only or "grey cloud" mode.`

There is no additional charge to using a custom hostname with Cloudflare Realtime TURN.
