First of all, I have to justify why I am posting here. I downloaded the ssproxy.zip file from this website and couldn't figure out how to use it. I then went to subspacedownloads.com and found another version of the program (ssproxy6.zip) which appeared to be updated so I downloaded that file too.
Still clueless about using them I tried the forum at SSDL.com but it is down at the moment. When I run the SSProxyServer.exe program it asks for a Server IP and port and also a Proxy port. Can anyone give me any advice?
By the way, I guess it's obvious but I am trying this to bypass a firewall.

If you can't play SS normally through your firewall then you need to run the proxy on a computer outside the firewall and set continuum's proxy settings to use that computer's IP and port.
If you CAN play SS normally, then you don't need the proxy server. This means that you want to get your zone to go through the firewall. To do this, you need to open 2 ports on the firewall and point them to your internal IP. These ports are: the port in your server.ini under [Misc], and that port + 1.
Once you have opened those two ports, you need to edit your zone.dat in your continuum directory to use your internal IP for your zone.
