Actually, it will cause problems for the device sending STUN, because that 
next-hop proxy will (rightly) consider it a malformed attack and blacklist the 
sender.

But it's also because by letting the next-hop proxy know the sender can send 
STUN or CRLF keepalives means the next-hop proxy does not need to potentially 
do other things itself.
