blocked behind a restrictive web proxy?

Monday, December 7th, 2009

If you happen to be at a school or the office or any other place that runs a restrictive web proxy you can still get around it using our client. You can pass all your traffic through the web proxy and then to the VPN server.  All your traffic will be secure as it always is even when it passes through the web proxy.

A example of what would needs to be added to the configuration file in order to pass all traffic through the web proxy is provided below.  The first example is using a example of actual IP and port numbers.  Only one “http-proxy” line is necessary.

http-proxy 10.1.2.70 3128
http-proxy  hostname PortNumber

What is really great is that the web proxy admin will only see one line in the web proxy log showing you connecting to the VPN server.  There is no way to hide the the IP of the VPN server you are connecting to.  It is very hard for the admin to find unless they know what they are looking for. It only looks like you where connecting to a encripted website one time.  The first ip is client ip which appears right before “TCP_MISS” and the second ip which appears right after “CONNECT” is the ip of the VPN server.

1260223454.332  32515 10.1.8.48 TCP_MISS/200 30653 CONNECT 208.73.74.73:443 – DIRECT/208.73.74.72 -

Please note that this will only work with the TCP VPN server because of how a web proxy works.  If you need help setting this up you can contact support or feel free to try it out your self.
