What kind of proxy are you using? If it supports the SOCKS protocol, then
you can attach a TIdSocksInfo to the TIdTCPClient. Then set the Host and
Port properties of the TIdTCPClient to the public IP/Port of the
TIdTCPServer, and set the Host/Port properties of the TIdSocksInfo to the
IP/Port of the proxy.

Then the TIdTCPClient is waiting for a reply that is not being sent, or is
being blocked. That is the only way a timeout error can be occuring. Are
you receiving an EIdReadTimeout or EIdSocketError exception?

Please provide more details about what EXACTLY is happening.
