[Openvpn-users] http-proxy questions

I am trying to set up openvpn 2.0 via a HTTP proxy to enable me to
securel escape some networks which only allow outgoing connections to a
few well-known ports (80,443,25).

I have a server which is already running Apache on 80and 443. I am
considering adding a new NameVirtualHost to this as an authenticated
proxy. (The OpenVPN servers I wnt to connect to will be a) on the same
host, b) on another internal host behind that gateway, and c) another
one elsewhere outside my network).

a) Does anyone have a working Apache (2.0) configuration to set this up?
   The NameVirtualHost should only allow CONNECTs when properly
   authenticated (I know I can restrict the target ports using
   allowConnect 1192 5000)

b) But I realize that OpenVPN only supports Basic and NTLM proxy
authentication, which would leave that proxy vulnerable when the
passwords gets sniffed.
Is there possibly a better way (SSL/TLS auth) which can be set up
to authenticate such a proxy setup?

Any assistance is appreciated
Mathias
