In both directions.
mediaproxy is supported/backed up by ag projects (Adrian Georgescu and
Dan Pascu) and nathelper by Maxim Sobolev (portaone), me, Bogdan and
probably the rest of the iptel team.

It should work in this setup. It's very likely that you have it
missconfigured somehow.

They both are based on the same ideea (Maxim's). In fact mediaproxy is derived
from an  older nathelper version, so you can't say one is more
compatible than the other.
IMO:
- nathelper is more flexible/configurable. 
- mediaproxy tries to be easier to use, but this is at the expense of some
configurability
