The case above is correct. This option is used to "tunnel" the VPN connection through an HTTP proxy before reaching the OpenVPN server (over TCP of course). > => Or is this option meant to be used to get connected to an HTTP(S) Proxy > after the VPN connection was already established like this other scenario > (2)? > > OpenVPN Client <-> OpenVPN Server <-> HTTP(S) Proxy <-> Internet > This case is not directly supported by OpenVPN itself (you may need to use a custom script that changes your system settings), but some clients (i.e. OpenVPN Connect for Android) implement it via the "dhcp-option" settings.
