Connecting to OpenVPN over HTTP Proxy

I want to connect to OpenVPN via HTTP Proxy to bypass the firewall. How should I edit the configuration file?

Where exactly do I copy the username and password file? @Falco33

Does your proxy require username/password authentication?
If not, just use: http-proxy IP PORT in your OpenVPN configuration file.

Authentication is required.

Try using:

http-proxy IP PORT stdin basic

Replace stdin with a txt file, for example: credentials.txt

http-proxy IP PORT credentials.txt basic

Create credentials.txt in the same folder with your OpenVPN configuration is, and put your username and password in the file. Username on the first line, and password on the second line.

@Falco33 Is OpenVPN over HTTP Proxy fast or does OpenVPN over Shadowsocks? Which is faster?

Never tried it, so I can't answer that.

OpenVPN connection drops/restarts a few seconds after connected when over Shadowsocks or it's just my setup.
