TURN servers will increase the chances that peers will be able to connect. TURN servers act as a relay point that both peers can reach easily (since it's not behind a NAT and has a publicly-accessible URL).

Downside: This is a point of centralization where eavesdropping could occur. Thus, we should add streaming file encryption (issue https://github.com/feross/instant.io/issues/15) first.
