I used tcp-repeaters to work around this problem back in the very ealy
versions of tinc, I had the problem of a wingate proxy at that time.
tcp repeaters can work great, but it can get very confusing when
debugging.
I'm very glad this problem is solved now by replacing all gateways by
linuxboxes about 2 yrs ago.
