VPN + SOCKS + HTTP/S PROXY

[ratiw]

If VPN + SOCKS + HTTP/S PROXY are all used at the same time, how is the traffic routed?

 

edit: made the question clearer.

Depends on how exactly they are used together (e.g. which order?)

I don't get your question, I suppose the order in which they are used is set by the OS and protocols, not a user choice. Can you explain better?

I wasn't asking a question (or rather, it was a rhetorical question). I'm trying to tell you that the answer to your question depends entirely on the order in which they are used, or rather how exactly the system is configured.

 

You could configure your system to connect to a VPN. On the VPN server you set up a SOCKS proxy that routes all traffic to yet another server which then routes its traffic through an HTTP proxy. You can change the order if these any way you see fit. You could also set up all kinds of routing rules that bypass any or all of these for certain sources or destinations.

let's suppose this: win 10 + vpn + browser with socks and http/s proxy configured in the settings.

 

In which order is the traffic routed?
