Connecting to IB/TWS Via Corporate Proxy

[karim0028]

Hey Guys,

I am dumbfounded by the fact that i cant get IB/TWS to connect via my work proxy..... Has anyone been able to get this to work? It gives you the option to connect via your proxy and the port you tell it....

I then call support and they then tell me that it needs ports 4000 & 4001 to connect to their servers.... Then why the hell tell me that i can access through a proxy.....

Has anyone been able to get this working behind a corporate proxy....

The company i work at is pretty big and dont usually open up ports for anyone.... Yet all of my programs work through the proxy....

Thinkorswim, Skype, MSN, all of them work through our proxy...

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
Karim
