nullcult Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Hi guys, I have setup my turtle to running with openvpn. However my biggest challenge is to get it to connect to the vpn through squid authentication proxy. Any ideas on how i can go about this?

Just_a_User Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Found this that may or may not help. http://mediarealm.com.au/articles/2014/03/openvpn-client-through-a-restrictive-firewall-and-proxy/ Quote It is possible to get a reliable VPN tunnel out through a proxy. The OpenVPN Client needs to be configured with the following directive: http-proxy YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY 8080 Once you add this in with the IP Address and port of your proxy, it should be able to connect. How do you add this? Simply add this line to the OVPN configuration file and re-upload it. You should now be able to connect to the tunnel via the proxy. If not, check the error logs to see what is being reported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullcult Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 This looks useful for sure. However am wondering it the proxy authenticates with a username and password. How do I configure this? Thanks mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just_a_User Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) I don't know personally, but i see examples using a user pass file combined with the http-proxy http-proxy [name of the proxyserver] [port of the proxyserver] [textfile with login data, username and password in two lines, if necessary] Edited September 3, 2016 by Just_a_User Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually your solution saved me, however you need to make sure that you place that line between the connection tags 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
