Abstract: A data item is provided to an on-premises proxy service by a peer-to-peer (P2P) client device associated with a video conferencing platform. The P2P client device and the on-premises proxy service are associated with a private network. The data item comprises topological information corresponding to the private network. A transformed version of the data item is received from the on-premises proxy service. The transformed version of the data item obscures the topological information corresponding to the private network. The transformed version of the data item is provided to an external tracking service for a P2P configuration operation. The external tracking service is associated with the video conferencing platform and is external to the private network.
