Hi, the auto-proxy support for Windows was rather sub-optimal. Since Internet Explorer 5 proxy settings were configured with the network or VPN connection, but OpenVPN always queried the settings for the LAN connection. Truely automatic proxy configuration via WPAD and PAC script was not used, either.
This patch series tries to change that. Auto proxy detetction is done with WinHTTP which has support for WPAD, PAC and per connection proxy settings. Another thing that is changed is the time at which the auto proxy config takes place in OpenVPN. Instead of doing it once during start-up, potentially changed settings are now fetched once every connect.
