You can control WebRTC's network behavior, including forcing it to go through a proxy, by using this Chrome extension:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/webrtc-network-lim...

It's published by the Chrome WebRTC (of which I am a member) for just that purpose: to let you control that behavior.

That's neat, but oughtn't the browser be respecting the proxy settings by default? If tags like <img> added an "ignoreproxy" attribute, folks would be rightfully upset, wouldn't they? So why should data channels be any different? (Video/audio is fine as the user is notified first.)
