I've never done it, but it will have some problems: no UDP support (cannot connect to UDP trackers or use uTP with peers), no port forwarding (cannot connect to peers with closed ports), and some exit nodes might block outgoing activity towards the well-known ports (6881) though most peers don't use this port and instead use random ports.
