We were thinking that maybe the problem is that the gRPC library is trying 
to use a http proxy set up by our customers' IT administrators on employee 
PCs. To me it is not clear whether gRPC (C++ version, out of the box) would 
try to use proxy settings in a PC if there are any.

One customer tried a laptop at home which worked, brought it to the office, 
and it couldn connect anymore.
