How to connect to a VPN/Proxy server via Python?

Question

Okay so i know that you can route web-requests through a proxy in Python, is there any way to route ALL traffic from your system through a server. Much like a VPN client such as Hotspot Shield or CyberGhost, but a custom-build client using the Python language?

Any links/help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

The short answer is no.

The long answer is: network routing is managed by OS and could be managed by other utilities, like iptables . Adding such capabilities to standard libraries is out of the scope of programming language. So, what you are probably looking for is a binding of a VPN library (eg libpptp) or making syscalls in Cython, which is not much different than writing in C.
