I think the most frustrating part is that people don't know what NAT they are behind. I wish WebRTC easily told people the attributes of their NAT. Not sure if it would help production deploys, but would make learning a lot easier.

Someone contributed a really cool tool to Pion stun-nat-behavior[0] that I use a lot. It prints out NAT details. It uses the modern/correct details. I see a lot of docs that still use symmetric NAT etc.. RFC 4787 [1] suggests against all that.

There is also pystun in pip, a comparatively old tool so it is probably much less sophisticated than newer options, but still nice to know about:
