Laravel event is not broadcasting on production server

I am using laravel-websockets package for some real-time features. I am using redis as queue connection. I have an event TestUpdated which I am broadcasting on test.{id} private channel. The event gets fired and caught by the client properly when I am on a local machine. But on production server, I get BroadcastException thrown:

Illuminate\Broadcasting\BroadcastException in /home/forge/mydomain.com/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Broadcasting/Broadcasters/PusherBroadcaster.php:117

Horizon dashboard also exposes the event data:

{
event: {
test: {
class: "App\Test",
id: 1,
relations: [
],
connection: "mysql"
},
socket: null
},
connection: null,
queue: null,
chainConnection: null,
chainQueue: null,
delay: null,
chained: [
]
}

Fragment of my websockets.php config file:

'apps' => [
    [
        'id' => env('PUSHER_APP_ID'),
        'name' => env('APP_NAME'),
        'key' => env('PUSHER_APP_KEY'),
        'secret' => env('PUSHER_APP_SECRET'),
        'enable_client_messages' => true,
        'enable_statistics' => false,
    ],
],

My observations:

I am using an arbitrary pusher app id, key and secret (someId, someKey and someSecret'). My client-side config:

window.Echo = new Echo({
    authEndpoint: 'my/endpoint',
    broadcaster: 'pusher',
    key: 'someKey',
    wsHost: process.env.NODE_ENV == 'development' ? window.location.hostname : 'mydomain.com',
    wsPort: 6001,
    wssPort: 6001,
    disableStats: true,
    encrypted: process.env.NODE_ENV == 'development' ? false : true
});

Config from broadcasting.php:

'pusher' => [
        'driver' => 'pusher',
        'key' => env('PUSHER_APP_KEY'),
        'secret' => env('PUSHER_APP_SECRET'),
        'app_id' => env('PUSHER_APP_ID'),
        'options' => [
            'cluster' => env('PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER'),
            'encrypted' => true,
            'host' => '127.0.0.1',
            'port' => 6001,
            'scheme' => env('PUSHER_SCHEME')
        ],
    ],

How do I fix this?

For anyone having the same issue:

I changed host to the production URL:

Here is the updated config:

'pusher' => [
    'driver' => 'pusher',
    'key' => env('PUSHER_APP_KEY'),
    'secret' => env('PUSHER_APP_SECRET'),
    'app_id' => env('PUSHER_APP_ID'),
    'options' => [
        'cluster' => env('PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER'),
        'encrypted' => true,
        'host' => env('PUSHER_HOST'),
        'port' => 6001,
        'scheme' => env('PUSHER_SCHEME')
    ],
],

And in the .env file:

PUSHER_HOST=example.com

Remember to exclude http/https from the host. It's not https://example.com, it's example.com.
