This does sound like a proxy is involved. If a proxy sits between the
browser and the Guacamole server, and that proxy buffers data until
the connection is closed, then the proxy will prevent Guacamole from
working by effectively blocking communication until the connection
times out.

Setting up proper SSL/TLS will often solve issues with proxies. If you
haven't done this, you can maybe kill two birds with one stone by
doing so now.

If you can confirm with your user whether there is indeed a new proxy
involved, that would be a good first step. You should also check
whether virus scanning software has recently been installed with
features which might involve acting as a proxy (ie: automatic scanning
of all downloads), as such things would interfere in the same way.
