How can I access SQL server using ADO through a proxy?

Question

I have a Delphi application that uses ADO to connect to a SQL server hosted on the Internet. The user running this application wants to access the SQL server through a proxy internally. How can this be done?

Answer 1

Ask this question on ServerFault.com or superuser.com you might get better luck

Answer 2

There is nothing special that needs to be done in the actual application, this is a networking problem, you would have to open some ports (1433 is the default) on the firewall for the communications to go through (going out)
