    Scrambled OpenVPN.

    Also, OpenVPN over TOR is a stupid idea for evading censorship.

    No.

    1. Download TOR bundle and start it. (Obfs4 Proxy or bridge mode.)

    2. Download an OpenVPN client and install it.

    3. Download the .ovpn configuration files from the client panel, unzip and copy the configuration files corresponding to the TCP protocol.

    4. Paste the .ovpn file in the configuration directory of your OpenVPN client.

    5. Edit the .ovpn file and add the following line:

    socks-proxy 127.0.0.1 9150

    1. Save your .ovpn file. Connect to TOR, then connect to the OpenVPN network using the modified configuration file.

    I didn't say it's not possible, I said it's a stupid idea for evading censorship. With OpenVPN over TOR, you are basically using TOR to bypass the censorship. OpenVPN offers no benefit over TOR, it only slows down your connection. Just use TOR by itself.

  • OpenVPN 2.4 now has control channel encryption, see tls-crypt parameter.

  • What are you trying to bypass?

    OpenVPN with TCP 443 port.

    Able to fool some entry-level firewall but cannot fool traffic audit. Nevertheless you can use Google Cloud and claim you are watching Youtube.

    OpenVPN over SSH tunneling.

    SSH is safe enough.

    OpenVPN over Shadowsocks.

    OpenVPN over HTTP Proxy.

    OpenVPN over SOCKS Proxy.

    Same as with 443 port.

    OpenVPN over TOR network.

    By stating this stupid, any traffic to Tor network will attract more attention than just using OpenVPN: are you sure this is what you want?

    OpenVPN over V2Ray.

    I have no comment on the security of V2Ray.

    OpenVPN over Stunnel.

    Same as with 443 port.

    One thing people are forgetting is goagent : the tradeoff is the IP range could be dirty and the request header shall contain your appid. The advantage is basically no one would dare to block Google's IP range(plus, if there are GGC deployed in your network your traffic shall go to GGC, which no sane want to put any ban on), and if network admin is asking about unusual traffic, you can always claim that you are watching Youtube. They may or may not like the answer, but they cannot prove it is not true.

  • OpenVPN over UDP port please :)

  • OpenVPN over X.25.

  • Is there a method compatible with Windows, Linux and Android?

    People like you make me sick. I'm fairly certain that running OVPN through Tor WASTES bandwidth and slows 1) the entire network down and 2) your own connection.

    Tor was built for a reliable way to access the Internet while making it harder to track. It also helped people who had blacklisted IPs, and etcetera, to get through. By running a VPN over Tor, you are wasting A LOT of precious bandwidth that is SHARED amongst many other users.

    It's always the same guy with different nicknames.

    Considering his list (like OpenVPN through Tor) he's not learning too fast either.
