Besides recruiting more proxies, could we stretch the existing unrestricted proxies further? When a proxy finds its own NAT type to be unrestricted, it could increase its polling frequency and/or concurrent capacity.
I've opened a merge request that will both increase the polling frequency and bump up the max number of clients from 1 to 2 for unrestricted proxies. This change happens once the proxies have successfully opened a datachannel with a client.

Proxies that work well with clients in their pool already poll pretty frequently (once every 60s), so I don't think increasing this to 30 seconds will make much of a difference, but doubling the capacity for unrestricted web-based proxies should. I'm hesitant to increase the maximum number of clients further without more testing.
