First off, fwknop is a great piece of software. I'm using it in
several different environments, with no problems. However, I've found
one situation that does present a problem.
A good friend of mine has a network in a non-ideal environment.
There is a forced, authenticating HTTP proxy, but it isn't transparent.
Any communication with the Internet has to go through that proxy, but
the http requests must be sent to the proxy.
We've gotten OpenVPN through this proxy, using that program's built
in http encapsulation option. It also allows us to specify the proxy. I
am providing the endpoint for that VPN, however I would like to secure
my network here at home. I will leave port 80 open, and run a simple web
site on Apache. Fwknopd is quite content to watch the http traffic for a
valid SPA.
I know that the --HTTP option in fwknop encapsulates a SPA in an
HTTP request. At the moment, however, I can't come up with a good way to
get that request to go through the proxy.
Thanks again,
Jonathan Bennett
