Skype Room System V2 PSTN Calling & Proxy

When it comes to Skype for Business traffic over proxies, Microsoft recommends bypassing proxies. Proxies don't make Skype for Business more secure because its traffic is already encrypted.
And having a proxy can cause issues. Performance-related problems can be introduced to the environment through latency and packet loss. Issues such as these will result in a negative experience in such Skype for Business scenarios as audio and video, where real-time streams are essential.

Hi,
I realise this isn't the best solution, but the full SfB client works fine through our proxy, the Skype Room System client doesn't. My question was more around the compatibility of the SRS client with proxies rather than the use of proxies in SfB. Hope this makes sense ?

Have you tried setting/allowing the device to bypass the proxy to confirm that resolves the issue?

Yes. Bypassing the proxy completely means the SRS and SFB clients will run correctly. Connected to the proxy oly the SFB client works....
