@subsection Proxy

You can proxy your requests through HTTP using CONNECT method. This can
help if you are only allowed to access outside world through HTTP proxy
server.

Server has @emph{-proxy} option allowing to listen on specified port and
accept HTTP request. All of them will be treated as a CONNECT method
switching to raw TCP mode. You can make POST request and server will
anyway switch to raw TCP mode. You are not forced to use this option:
any external HTTP proxy server can be used.

Client has @emph{-proxy} option forcing it to connect to proxy and send
CONNECT method. Optionally it can be authenticated on it using
@emph{-proxy-auth} HTTP Basic method.

% govpn-client [...] -proto tcp \
    -remote "$REMOTE_ADDR":1194 \
    -proxy 192.168.55.1:8888 \
    -proxy-auth mylogin:password
