HTTP Proxy server that supports UDP

duzen

I need an http proxy server that supports UDP. Is there udp support for squid proxy or tinyproxy? Do you have any suggestions? I will use it in OpenVPN. Tcp is really slow.

http is tcp. not udp.

No mention of udp.

Oh my... This totally looks like someone has absolutely zero clue about what they're talking or what they're asking for.

HTTP is a Layer 7 (OSI model - TCP-IP model: Layer 4) protocol that uses pure TCP transport on Layer 3 (OSI model - TCP-IP model: Layer 3) and nothing else. Unlike other protocols such as DNS which uses both TCP and UDP it is impossible with HTTP to transport UDP.

OpenVPN behind HTTP proxies only works over TCP and the reason is explained above. You need a SOCKS5 proxy if you want to transport UDP traffic.

HTTP proxy servers do not support UDP as already pointed out. SOCKS5 (not SOCKS4) proxy servers do support UDP though.
