I think your best and safest bet would be to find a conference server that can use a proxy.

I don't understand what you mean, this looks self evident to me.

A service connected via a proxy has full functionality (this is different from a relay) and

I know that, and at this point in time, haven't setup any relays.

there is really no disadvantage to having a service connected to a proxy hosted on the same machine.  Doing this, only the elproxy program has to open sockets for 0.0.0.0:5198 and 0.0.0.0:5199 and there are no conflicts.

I know, been doing it for years with the Java proxy server.

Of course it would still be interesting to know if a program can be listening e.g. on 44.128.0.1:5198 (UDP) while another program on the same machine is listening on 0.0.0.0:5198 and will receive all UDP to port 5198 except to address 44.128.0.1

This is the part we're not 100% certain about, though early indications suggest this does work, because in my tests, the proxy was able to connect to a conference bound to a specific IP.
