I can't get openvpn to connect through my socks proxy server, and searching around seem to find other users with the same problem, but no known solution.
version: OpenVPN 2.2.1 x86_64-linux-gnu [SSL] [LZO2] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] [eurephia] [MH] [PF_INET6] [IPv6 payload 20110424-2 (2.2RC2)] built on Feb 27 2013 My config is setup like this: client dev tun proto tcp socks-proxy 192.168.147.1 101 remote ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.compute-1.amazonaws.com 1194 ca ca.crt cert client1.crt key client1.key Socks proxy works fine with other apps, but with openvpn I get the following: Oct 23 17:12:46 ovpn-client[1887]: TCP connection established with [AF_INET] 192.168.147.1:101 Oct 23 17:12:51 ovpn-client[1887]: socks_handshake: TCP port read timeout expired: Operation now in progress (errno=115) I found an old user list post that suggest this might be due to an issue that openvpn has with non-blocking IO? http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.user/26898 But I don't see anything in the openvpn bug tracker or dev mailing list archives. Does this issue ring a bell for anyone? Any known workaround? thanks Steve
