There's no way to answer that without knowing what you mean by "proxy server". Your response at one point hints at a NAT-type proxy server but then elsewhere it hints at an HTTP-type proxy server. > How should > I specify the proxy settings in this command? You can't. It sounds like you have a non-tranparent proxy, which means your program has to be specifically designed to work with that type of proxy. Have the client try this: telnet <your_server_ip> <your_server_port> If he cannot establish a connection, he can't reach your service. It's that simple. If he can tell you what type of proxy he has that he might be able to use, then either your server does or does not support that type of proxy. If your software doesn't support an HTTP CONNECT proxy, you might want to add that. I wouldn't use the s_client too for network testing of any kind. It's really only useful to tell if a server is up and basically working.
