It turns out that OpenVPN is the ideal "proxifier" to make everything go through Tor in that setup. However, Tor connections can be unreliable, so OpenVPN frequently loses the connection (a few times each day). I'm using OpenVPN GUI, and it looks to me like it tries to reconnect once or twice, and then it gives up. Is there a way to make OpenVPN NEVER give up trying to reconnect until it succeeds?
I thought "resolv-retry infinite" would do it, but as I search around the internet, it seems a lot of people want this, but there's no straightforward way to achieve it on Windows 7. Is that a normal limitation in OpenVPN's design, or is there really a way to make it work that I'm not aware of? An example of a typical *.ovpn file is below:
Code: Select all
client
dev tun
proto tcp
remote x.x.x.x 443
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
tls-client
remote-cert-tls server
comp-lzo
auth-user-pass pass.txt
