if you have an ssh account somewhere, you can use putty as ssh windows client and setup the tunneling there.

I havent thought of that but it is a good idea. Im not sure how I would go about doing from this windows machine though

Can't help with the proxy bit I'm afraid, but have you thought about using ssh and tunnelling bitcoin through that as an alternative solution?

Hello all, I am trying to get my Bitcoin client to work at the office. OF course the port BitCoin uses is blocked, but I have a proxy on my co-located server that uses authentication I would like to connect Bitcoin through.
I tried starting bitcoin with the following run command:
"C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin.exe" -proxy=proxyuser:[email protected]:23
but it returns the error "invalid proxy-ip" and doesnt launch. Is it possible to run bitcoin or bitcoind through this proxy?
