I am also sympathetic to the use case. Locally deployed TURN server is
probably the right solution, but ideally it should be provisioned by the
local DHCP server, similar to HTTP proxies.

Also, I am not sure that getDefaultIceServers is the right interface for
this. It should be a flag to include local TURN servers but they probably
should not be directly exposed to the application. Specifically, local TURN
server credentials should be opaque to the app.
