Tunnel only one program (UDP & TCP) through another server
- by user136036
I have a windows machine at home and a server with debian installed.
I want to tunnel the UDP traffic from one (any only this) program on my windows machine through my server.
For tcp traffic this was easy using putty as a socks5 proxy and then connecting via ssh to my server - but this does not seem to work for UDP.
Then I setup dante as a socks5 proxy but it seems to create a new instance/thread per connection which leads to a huge ram usage for my server, so this was no option either.
So most people recommend openvpn, so my question: Can I use openvpn to just tunnel this one program through my server? Is there a way to maybe create a local socks5 proxy on my windows machine and set it as a proxy in my program and only this proxy then will use openvpn?
Thank you for your ideas
