This means that the HTTPS traffic is getting through, but that the RTP
traffic (media) isn't.

Yes.  You need to put a TURN server somewhere where it can be reached by
both the client and the server.  So your diagram becomes:

           --------------> TURN Server <-------------
          /                                           \
  Laptop -> VPN Server -> Proxy -> Proxy -> Proxy -> Galene

Since there's a VPN in the way, it might be difficult to make the TURN
server reachable by both sides.  In particular, if the goal is to hide IP
addresses, then the TURN server is going to have too much knowledge.
