I'm having some issues connecting to OVPN using a proxy

[ainisw99 0]

When I started using socks connecting to OVPN,I received some errors, This is one of the lines:

W 2025.09.17 00:43:29 - OpenVPN > Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in C:\Users\Trance Family\AppData\Local\Eddie\c952a68588590e8f9c04ee13ecad2fe604d241091e64c14963fde31654e66c07.tmp.ovpn:11: socks-proxy (2.6.12)

Then, the connection is disconnected

Looks like it needs an update Eddie?

The version I'm using is 2.24.6 windows

Hello!

The problem is here above. OpenVPN 2.6.12 recognizes socks-proxy option, but a paremeter is missing, specifically, we infer (see below), the hostname (or IP address).

This error is visible in Eddie's report:

Quote

proxy.mode: socks
proxy.when: openvpn
proxy.host: 
proxy.port: 13029

proxy.host is not valorized (empty string?); can you please re-check this setting and fix accordingly?

Kind regards
