I have a raspberry pi on which I set up an OpenVPN server (running on por 4444) using PiVPN. It works perefectly fine but I can't connect to it on my University Wifi because of DPI. So I decided to use OpenVPN over SSH.
I made a SOCKS proxy using the following command:
ssh -D8123 pi@my-pi-domain
I edited my client ovpn file to use this socks proxy:
client
dev tun
proto tcp
remote localhost 4444
socks-proxy localhost 8123
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
remote-cert-tls server
tls-version-min 1.2
The problem is, whenever I start openvpn client, my ssh prompt becomes inactive hence openvpn can't use my socks proxy. Is there any way to have my pi run the OpenVPN server while using itself for the SOCKS proxy?
