Please support http proxy for the wonderful DSVPN

[vochong]

Hello,
Please add HTTP proxy support for DSVPN. That will make DSVPN very versatile in many environments.

Thanks a lot!

dsvpn doesn't use HTTP... Adding HTTP would make it way bigger slower and more complicated.

Bon matin Frank,

Thanks a lot for the explanation.

Originally I tried to use proxychains to help DSVPN client reach DSVPN server via HTTP proxy and the session was actually established with the DSVPN server. However, no traffic could pass between the client and server tun0 interfaces so I was wondering why.

I wish you would write another DSVPN over HTTP someday (aka OpenVPN à la mode de Frank :-). I love all your wonderful and cutely tiny security-related programs.

You're also an amazing photographer!

Best regards,
Eric

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the suggestion. However, I got lots of errors during WPN compilation using Go v1.18.1 so it did not work for me. Also, it seems to be tailored for use with reverse proxy instead of forward proxy scenarios. Your DSVPN solution allows me to have full VPN between different networks on both sides of the DSVPN tunnel.

A VPN solution using HTTPS and/or secure websocket (Frank's style, not OpenVPN's style :-) as the transport and with built-in HTTP proxy support would be the best answer for almost all firewall/proxy environments nowadays.

Best regards.
