Google meet behind a proxy

[SteveB_NI]

Has anyone managed to get Google Meet fully working on their proxy enabled networks?

 

It appears to not like being behind a proxy server, but I'm struggling to get it fully working, even behind a number of bypass rules on our CensorNet proxy. Although it works on a completely unfiltered bypass port - so mustn't be a firewall problem at the router.

 

The meet can be opened ok, but as soon as the network detects video being blocked, it throws you back to a Google network block page

Meet uses WebRTC and peer-to-peer connections where possible, so proxies between Meet and the people using it will definitely cause trouble.

Where possible, don't route the Meet traffic through the proxy.

 

All the settings you need to tweak are here:

This may help you too?

I see it’s been a while since anyone posted, but I’m curious if you have found a solution to your problem.

Meet relies heavily on WebRTC and peer-to-peer connections, so routing its traffic through a proxy can result in disruptions or connection drops

To improve reliability, it's best to bypass the proxy entirely for Meet traffic—either via proxy rules or exclusions. You might find more configuration insights on this site, which covers how to handle WebRTC traffic and proxy bypass more effectively.
