Where does the error come from? The vpn server or proxy?

hi

i got this in vpn client while connecting through http proxy to vpn servers.

What do I mean is proxy authentication failed or VPN authentication failed?

I can connect to port 3072 through squid 3.4.11 without problem. Can you check your settings? Also, can you check whether your squid proxy is allowing HTTPS traffic to ports other port 443?

You may need to configure your squid proxy by editing configuration files to allow the traffic.

sir

the problem is when openvpn with same squid proxy with ipaddress & port 3128 of it with usename and pwd, can go through
,why this softether vpn client is not connecting and getting user authentication failed message.

For example, your VPN Server(203.0.113.1) is listening on port 8888.

Check your proxy server settings with the following method:
1. Configure your browser to use the proxy.
2. Try to browse https://203.0.113.1:8888/

If it is not working, you will need to modify the squid.conf to allow that port.
Make sure you have "acl SSL_ports port 8888" in your squid.conf.

I tested my squid 3.4.11 proxy and it is working when connecting to my VPN server.

hi

89.163.144.138 germany server i can connect in browser without port no 8888,but while giving :8888 port no,

it gives

This webpage is not available

ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED

Do you have access to the squid.conf in the proxy server?

Does the proxy support a basic auth?
