twisted.protocols.portforward probably does something quite similar to what
you want.

The relationship is up to the factory. In your code:

It seems the relationship is 1:1. Each time you want to establish a new
connection, you create a new GateClientProtocolFactory instance and there
is no reconnection logic implemented by GateClientProtocolFactory.
You may see simplification by using twisted.internet.protocols.ClientCreator
instead of having GateClientProtocolFactory.

It seems basically correct, aside from the timing/connecting issue you
mentioned.
