Yes. You install a SOCKS 5 server that is capable of doing UDP binding and
proxying. Then all you need to do is tell your QUdpSocket to use it, using the
setProxy function.
SOCKS5 is usually run on port 1080 and found in many a corporate network.
However, most SOCKS5 implementations do not allow for binding to a port on the
remote side. The proxy server needs to be specifically configured to allow for
that. Moreover, UDP support is not common, so make sure you choose your daemon
properly.

If it were SOCKS5 compatible, it would be called a SOCKS5 server, not a STUN
server.
