Comment (by cohosh):
As mentioned in #34358, we don't have the libraries we need to implement
this for our web-based proxies at the moment. Given that these far
outnumber our standalone Go proxies, we might have to abandon this effort
for the time being and rely on success-based heuristics to determine the
proxy poll rate.
We could still do some smarter matching here if we have the client
determine their NAT type and have the proxies report to the broker their
success rate. If the client has a restrictive NAT, the broker could match
them up with a high-success-rate proxy.
