Where these lines are in the config file is of less importance. If it's in the beginning or end, it doesn't matter. The only thing which does matter is if you have multiple --remote or <connection> blocks, as these will be processed in the order they're configured (unless you've enabled --remote-random). I don't know if you have more than just 'http-proxy' on that config line. AFAIK, http-proxy requires at least a server/IP and a port number which is to the HTTP proxy the connection should be sent via. Without that information, I'd expect OpenVPN to complain loudly. - -- kind regards, David Sommerseth >> ---------------------------------------- From: David Sommerseth >> <openvpn.l...@topphemmelig.net> Sent: Thu Jul 17 14:02:08 CEST >> 2014 To: Lisa Minogue <lmino...@mail.be>, >> <openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: >> [Openvpn-users] What do these four lines at the bottom of an ovpn >> file mean? >> >> > On 17/07/14 10:03, Lisa Minogue wrote: >>>> Hi, >>>> >>>> Could someone explain to me briefly what the four lines at >>>> the bottom of the ovpn file mean?
