172The interface type (C<native> or C<tincd>) and the subtype (usually the os
173name in lowercase) that this vpe was configured for. Can be used to select
174the correct syntax to use for network-related commands.

245=item http-proxy-host = hostname/ip
246
247The C<http-proxy-*> family of options are only available if vpe was
248compiled with the C<--enable-http-proxy> option and enable tunneling of
249tcp connections through a http proxy server.
250
251C<http-proxy-host> and C<http-proxy-port> should specify the hostname and
252port number of the proxy server. See C<http-proxy-loginpw> if your proxy
253requires authentication.
254
255Please note that vpe will still try to resolve all hostnames in the
256configuration file, so if you are behind a proxy without access to a dns
257server better use numerical IP addresses.
258
259To make best use of this option disable all protocols except tcp in your
260config file and make sure your routers (or all other hosts) are listening
261on a port that the proxy allows (443, https, is a common choice).
262
263If you have a router, connecting to it will suffice. Otherwise tcp must be
264enabled on all hosts.
265
266Example:
267
268 http-proxy-host = proxy.example.com
269 http-proxy-port = 3128 # 8080 is another common choice
270 http-proxy-auth = schmorp:grumbeere
271
272=item http-proxy-port = proxy-tcp-port
273
274The port where your proxy server listens.
275
276=item http-proxy-auth = login:password
277
278The optional login and password used to authenticate to the proxy server,
279seperated by a literal colon (C<:>). Only basic authentication is
280currently supported.
