[SOLVED] What is the eeffect of adding proxy on tcp tunnel?

Post by shinjikenny » Tue Nov 29, 2011 3:08 pm

From what I understand, if a client connects to a vpn server and browse the web, the connection would be like this:

client ---> ISP---> VPN server---> website ---> VPN server ---> ISP---> client


-what if the client put a proxy on the openvpn config? how would the connection be?
-what if the client put a proxy on the web browser and not on the openvpn config?
