    Hello everyone.

    I'm writting an application which uses Indy v9 TIdTCPClient and
    TIdTCPServer components for communication with proprietary protocol.
    Everything works like a charm in local network, but problem is when client
    tries to connect to the server through local gateway.

    I'm using TIdIOHandlerSocket for SOCKS connection. When trying to connect,
    exception "General SOCKS server failure" raises within 0.5-1sec. I tryied
    TIdFTP over the TIdIOHandlerSocket with same settings and it works as it
    should.

    We're using WinGate as gateway, SOCKS v5 servis is started and it's
    functional with some other protocols (SSH, FTP etc.). Application uses port
    3232 and it's enabled on firewall.

    I need an idea to solve this problem. I'm new in using Indy components.
    Also, if there is some more standard solution than using TIdTCPClient and
    TIdTCPServer with my proprietary protocol, I'd like to know about it.

    Thanks in advance,

    Eden
