Usually means that the option is not supported.

Nodemind

Yes.
socks-proxy is not supported, and socks5-proxy, socks5 proxy and etc is not supported for Windows.
But, this work on Debian. Why?

TinCanTech

You are using two different Openvpn Products which are only related by name.

* Openvpn-Connect Client For Windows.

Or

* Openvpn-community-edition.

They are totally different: https://openvpn.net/

Nodemind

Openvpn-Connect Client For Windows (3.3.1). Please help me, show how to use setting Openvpn-Connect Client socks5 proxy with username and password

Nodemind

Maybe I put it wrong.

I need to know what settings can be set for socks5 in the configuration file in Openvpn-Connect Client For Windows (3.3.1)

Nodemind

I did everything according to the instructions

https://openvpn.net/community-resources/reference-manual-for-openvpn-2-4/

--socks-proxy server [port] [authfile]
Connect to remote host through a Socks5 proxy at address server and port port (default=1080). authfile (optional) is a file containing a username and password on 2 lines, or "stdin" to prompt from console.

But this not work

TinCanTech

You are using the wrong manual for the product you are using.

Openvpn-connect Windows does not appear to support socks-proxy

Use Openvpn Community Edition.

Nodemind

Thank you friend!
