But once the tunnel reaches the OpenVPN server, you can direct port 80
and 443 traffic from it via the proxy server can't you?
Once it gets to the OpenVPN server (where you would also have the proxy
server), isn't it decrypted?
Lots of companies have VPN tunnels and then route web traffic through a
proxy so it must be possible somehow.

I assume I would have to use an alternative port or use firewall

Squid is an HTTP proxy, so no.

You can't really proxy OpenVPN as it's end-to-end encrypted with SSL.
If you issued the certs from your CA it might be possible to MITM it
but that may be illegal in many jurisdictions.

of course you can.
it's a basic IPTABLES rules and since openvpn uses a tunX interface you can intercept all traffic from the tunX interface to the proxy. but you cant force the clients to use the vpn as gateway to the whole word but only to the VPN connection.

So, I simply forward port 80 and 443 on network 10.8.00 to a transparent squid proxy? How can I record in the squid logs which OpenVPN client certificate is using the proxy? Also, how do I do this for rtmp connections because port 80 and 443 will have to go via the proxy but rtmp will have to bypass it somehow?
