connect reset through http-proxy

[cyu021]

Hi all,

I tried to establish to my openvpn server through a http-proxy, but my connection always got reset.
Following is the log I copy and paste from client's log.
Any comment is appreciated.

btw, the proxy works fine with pure web browsing.

the HTTP proxy is running on the local host - what does the proxy logs say?
it may very well be that some intermittent firewall is killing the connection. Try using openvpn+stunnel instead.
