For reliable VoIP calls to be routed via this homeserver, you MUST configure

IPv6
----

As of Synapse 0.19 we finally support IPv6, many thanks to @kyrias and @glyph
for providing PR #1696.

However, for federation to work on hosts with IPv6 DNS servers you **must**
be running Twisted 17.1.0 or later - see https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/1002
for details. We can't make Synapse depend on Twisted 17.1 by default
yet as it will break most older distributions (see https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/1909)
so if you are using operating system dependencies you'll have to install your
own Twisted 17.1 package via pip or backports etc.

If you're running in a virtualenv then pip should have installed the newest
Twisted automatically, but if your virtualenv is old you will need to manually
upgrade to a newer Twisted dependency via:

pip install Twisted>=17.1.0
