Problem statement:
Due to web content security policies, websocket connections to locations other than the same location that the page is hosted from are disallowed. This means that if you were to use a frontend hosted in location X, and a signalling server in location Y, and connect to the frontend with
http://LocationX?ss=LocationY, you won't be able to establish a connection.Solution
Update the default content security policy used by helmet to allow websocket connections from different locations
