Tor in my experience. i've also had success tweaking the TCP VPN layer (disable nagle for example, and i recall someone using cork to benefit too). This approach is described in RFC 1925 section 2.3. Juliusz

what may be useful is the transparent TCP proxy support in Tor for ensuring the VPN connections are going through Tor. (VPN software being difficult to SOCKS'ify so to speak) Ahem... if your VPN software is using TCP rather than UDP or raw IP, then I strongly recommend that you choose a

I have heard of the TCP over TCP issue but have not had any bad experiences so far. I am currently using both TCP and UDP-based VPN systems and while the TCP-based one is a bit slower, it still seems very stable for applications such as Terminal Services, FTP, http(s), etc. I do notice

I may be doing a horrible job of explaining the problem. No, you're doing fine. I'm just going to explain it differently. IP over IP works. UDP over UDP works if your UDP protocol supports it. TCP over TCP fails. The timeout rules cannot stack properly. You missed the two important cases

Hi, Question - if you are only connecting to encrypted remote resources by IP address, do you need to use Privoxy? Scenario: VPN client-side gateway that is pushing traffic through Tor to a VPN server at a destination known to the VPN client by its IP and not by DNS. Tor not being utilized
