🔒 Peer to Peer app discover other device

[frozen patio]

I am trying to make a simple peer to peer app (can be used to send simple messages or files) and the issue I am facing so far is that each peer cannot find each other (Discover each others Public IP and port to communicate with). I know I need a signalling server to do this but I can't find out one that does not need an API key or an account login. The app is inteneded for anyone to pick up and use without issues. I don't want to host the signalling server myself for my app as then I can't gaurantee that it will be avaible when its needed. I don't want the user to have to make one themselves. I have tried a DHT server and had no luck connecting to them for some reason. So I am out of ideas for how each peer can find the other peer. I intend for it to be that each peers goes to a DHT/signalling server and looks for the other peer's ID or a shared seceret and then when the see each other they then share their IP and port with each other.

Sorry for the long post, I have just wasted a few days on this with 0 luck so far
