Cisco VPN Client through http proxy

Hi,



I am in a campus where all the outgoing internet connection is thorough a http proxy. I want to use Cisco VPN client to make a VPN connection to a server outside my campus, can someone please tell me how to configure the VPN client to use the proxy server to make the outgoing connection(on Linux and Windows). I could not find this option anywhere and also could not find any relevant resource in the net.



I dont know if this is the right forum, if not, I will be grateful if someone points me to the proper place to post this question.



Thanks! Vishwas.

Are you using a SSL VPN or IPSEC VPN. SSL VPN is logging into a web page and connecting to the VPN. The IPSEC VPN is a client software piece. If you are using a IPSEC VPN it does not use port 80 for communication.

I want to use IPSEC VPN... is it not supported? Any idea if there any other client which might support connection through proxy?

Forget about getting an ipsec connection working through an http proxy. Search for the folllowing keywords if you want to connect to a Cisco vpn endpoint through https:

- Cisco webvpn

- Cisco Anyconnect

And even then your connection might still not pass (url filtering, ssl interception,...)
