You cannot. Using STUN for Register is an unreliable because whatever you learn from a STUN request may change over time without being noticed and STUN query results depend on the type of NAT you are behind, is undeterministic behavior you cannot rely upon. 

Blink does not use STUN for Register nor should any SIP service rely upon STUN, is bad practice.
