One reasons services might have shut down is running the TURN server. An added annoyance over what would otherwise just be static files.

Regarding the TURN server, is that something that is specific to the service? It seems to me that a more general approach would be preferable, i.e. not connected to any particular service.
Also, I'm wondering how IPFS is doing these days.
