It does not depend, that just happens to be an awfully convenient STUN server. You are welcome to host your own. It's not hard

Absolutely, but afaik if I roll this out to clients there browser will make requests to a Google server right?

Might be worth making that clear in the README :) Just for the sake of protecting privacy n stuff..

good idea. No information other than some synchronization stuff should go through that server though. It's just used because people are hidden behind NATs.

Agreed :) But still, my users would kill me if any of their traffic hit a Google service! Thanks for the good work btw, gonna begin integrating as a plugin on Etherpad, had a try last night but got hit by a 404ing blob

You can run your own stune server.
