Http Proxy .. How to?

paradoxale

Hi

EDIT:
Hi..

I wanted to bypass a firewall and found out that connecting via Http Proxy will make it trough.
But... How do I add the http proxy to the client.
And... Is a Proxy server needed?... eventually how to make one? (Running linux: CentOS 5.6)

Thanks

Is a Proxy server needed?

Yes.

How do I add the http proxy to the client.

Read the manuals.

Hi

I have now tried to setup the proxy. I have installed Squid Proxy server and added http-proxy settings to configs in the openvpn client.
But when I connect i get:

Attempting to establish TCP connection with xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80
TCP connection established with xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80
Send to HTTP proxy: 'CONNECT xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1194 HTTP/1.0'
HTTP proxy returned: 'HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden'
HTTP proxy returned bad status
TCP/UDP: Closing socket

Where my OpenVPN TCP port is 1194 and HTTP Proxy port is 80.

I have tried to do my best in configuring the squid and all was correct, but I dont know if i have done right with the iptables configuration.
Is there any manual on this?
Or can you list the command to type in?
-OR... Maybe you recommend any other proxy server software to use?

Thanks

The only thing I can suggests, is that proxy is not configured to allow access:

HTTP proxy returned: 'HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden'

I found a very interesting thing. The new service from openvpn actually works in bypassing the firewall! Something GREAT! Means I dont need proxy. But.... What configuration have they used?? It is the privatetunnel.com service that has the same connect client as me. I just need to know how they configured it so its bypassing the firewall.
Anyone I can contact?

Very Needed.
Thanks.
