Just a quick pointer in case it applies to you:  if you tunnel into the proxy 
machine (using ssh, VPN, proxychains and what not) you would suffer from 
packet fragmentation, which could quickly snowball.  In this case try reducing 
your mtu to lower values, than the default ethernet 1500 byte packets, to 
cater for the overhead of the larger tunnelling headers.

HTH.
