How to use OpenVPN?

[unicorn]

I have an VPN, I get an ip address and HTTP/SOCKETS5 proxyport number. How to configure it so I can use it with OpenBSD? thanx

[jmccue]

I was able to use openvpn on OpenBSD before all the recent network changes. From my old notes I needed dhclient(8) file with this statement:

supersede domain-name-servers <serverIP>;

Pus a hostname.tun0 file with this statement:

up
!/usr/local/sbin/openvpn --daemon --config YOUR-CONFIG-FILE

Maybe that still works, I no longer use openvpn.

But a lot of network changes happened in OpenBSD since then, so I do not know if the above will work on OpenBSD. In fact I doubt it will work, but it may help you to figure out what to do.

The dhclient(8) facility was replaced by dhcpleased(8). The newer utility was introduced with release 6.9, and dhclient(8) was later removed, only after several releases as a nonfunctional placeholder.

I'm sorry I don't understand that. Any commands?

You can provision dhcpleased to ignore domain name server assignments included with leases. The syntax is described in the dhcpleased.conf(5) man page, from which you might devise something like:

interface <int> { ignore dns <server> }

Please review the man page for details. Please note, this is an example to match jmccue's dhclient.conf provisioning -- I have no knowledge of OpenVPN and its requirements.

I installed an Firefox extension FoxyProxy and I can browse Youtube now!
