OpenVPN behind a Apache Reverse Proxy

jnebrera

Hi all,

I'm wondering if OpanVPN server would work behind an Apache based reverse proxy.

In this scenario, the client connects to a public IP belonging to the apache server, and based on the url used its redirected to the proper OpenVPN server.

Thanks and regards

errr, which "URL used" ? OpenVPN can connect to a "regular" HTTP proxy , for which it uses the HTTP CONNECT command or it can connect to an IP address+port; URLs are never used by the openvpn client (or server).

URLs are never used by the openvpn client (or server)

In my understanding, with latest OpenVPN AS, you connect to a "web server" and then the browser "creates" the tunnel (well, in very basic words) This you call "Connect Client"

Now, this is were precisely I'm thinking about. Instead of making the browser connect exactly to the OpenVPN server, it first goes to the reverse proxy were looking into the url is redirected to the real openvpn server.

Im wondering if this would work.

Thanks
