ICE/STUN (which is used by WebRTC and thus PeerJS) support NAT traversal in all cases but a pair of symmetric NATs, which means some single digit percentage of connections will not work. For those cases, WebRTC/PeerJS support using a TURN server which proxies the data, not ideal but it allows the library to work.

AFAIK, you will be/are able to add TURN server addresses to the mix. It is possible that chrome uses google's TURN servers by default.
