Hello Everyone, I am trying to setup an OpenVpn server following this great guide. But I still have a question: I need http-proxy to be enabled to bypass a firewall, how can I set that up? I could not find anything too useful online.
If you have any suggestion (even a useful link), it would be great.
Thanks.
If needed - I have a Ubuntu Server droplet.

If I recall correctly, OpenVPN cannot act as an HTTP proxy but it can use them. OpenVPN is what the name implies, a VPN. Assuming the firewall you are trying to get around (keep in mind, if you are trying to bypass corporate firewalls and such, that may be illegal in your agreement/contract, etc) allows for a client to establish a connection to a remote OpenVPN, you should have no problem using OpenVPN to ‘proxy’ out of your firewall.
