Hi,
I'm trying to run OpenVPN as an HTTP proxy for my browser. I have the client installed and running and it's connected to the OpenVPN server. I can ping the address (10.1.0.70). Now how do I route traffic through the OpenVPN server? According to the How-To I should add:
proto tcp
http-proxy 127.0.0.1 8228
Or is it http-proxy 10.1.0.70 8228 ?
to my config? Either way, all this accomplishes is preventing the client from establishing a connection. What am I doing wrong?

openvpn does not act as an http proxy for your browser - the 'http-proxy' directive is used to set up a VPN connection via an HTTP proxy. Please read up on what openvpn is and what it can do for you.
