How to setup VPN as Proxy

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 4901 / 1 Year ago, sun, may 7, 2023, 11:11:20

I have an PerfectPrivacy VPN connected via the OpenVPN-Network-Manger-Plugin (Ubuntu 12.04.1) and I want to assign a system wide proxy over that VPN.

I have tried proxydriver that should do that automatically, but it works partially.
The browser says that I have the IP of the VPN, but when I tried to send an eMail over SMTP (Port 25), I can´t connect to the mail server.
In our company the smtp server port is closed, but that should be not a problem, when I do that over a VPN, shouldn´t it?

greetings
