OpenVPN and URL-Whitelist?

Post by hellbirn » Mon Sep 09, 2013 10:55 am

Hi OpenVPN-checkers,

I've set up an OPENVPN AS using the VHD provided on a MS Server Hyper-V. Everything works well, my ipad can connect from the Internet to the AS and then use the data in my "Intranet".

But now, I want to implement a "Whitelist" feature when browsing.

Can I configure the AS in a way that browsing to "https://server1.domain.com/URL1" is allowed but all other traffic to this server e.g. "https://server1.domain.com/URL2" is blocked?

I would be grateful for any hints to get this working.

Thanx,

hb

Yes, thats what I thought, too.

But how can I configure the AS to use the proxy-filter transparently as I cannot configure a proxy in the openvpn connection on my ipad?

if you redirect all traffic you can use iptables to transparently redirect whatever traffic you want... ;)

ah, sounds good. then I should have to redirect tcp_80 and tcp_443 to an additional box with squid on it, I think.

or can I install squid right on the OpenVPN AS, too?
