364.IX Item "http-proxy-host = hostname/ip"
365The \f(CW\*(C`http\-proxy\-*\*(C'\fR family of options are only available if vpe was
366compiled with the \f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-http\-proxy\*(C'\fR option and enable tunneling of
367tcp connections through a http proxy server.
368.Sp
369\&\f(CW\*(C`http\-proxy\-host\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`http\-proxy\-port\*(C'\fR should specify the hostname and
370port number of the proxy server. See \f(CW\*(C`http\-proxy\-loginpw\*(C'\fR if your proxy
371requires authentication.
372.Sp
373Please note that vpe will still try to resolve all hostnames in the
374configuration file, so if you are behind a proxy without access to a dns
375server better use numerical \s-1IP\s0 addresses.
376.Sp
377To make best use of this option disable all protocols except tcp in your
378config file and make sure your routers (or all other hosts) are listening
379on a port that the proxy allows (443, https, is a common choice).
380.Sp
381If you have a router, connecting to it will suffice. Otherwise tcp must be
382enabled on all hosts.

426available when vpe was compiled using the \f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-tcp\*(C'\fR option. Never
427use this transport unless you really must, it is horribly ineffiecent and
428resource-intensive compared to the other transports.
