The oldest  approach to VPNs is probably SOCKS 5, which was first developed by Aventail. SOCKS 5 is a bit different from L2TP and IPsec: It follows a proxy server model and works at the TCP socket level. To use SOCKS 5, systems must be outfitted with SOCKS 5 client software and the your organization needs to be running a SOCKS 5 server. First, a client request for services is intercepted by the SOCKS 5 client. The request is sent to the SOCKS 5 server, which checks the request against a security database. If the request is granted, the SOCKS 5 server establishes an authenticated session with the client and acts as a proxy for the client, performing the requested operations. The upside to SOCKS 5 is that it lets network managers apply specific controls on proxied traffic. Because it works at the TCP level, SOCKS 5 lets you specify which applications can cross the firewall into the Internet, and which are restricted.

The first major component that needs to be added to VPN is a directory server,   The result: The corporate net can be easily extended across the public infrastructure, blurring the traditional lines between public and private in the process.

Some are available and can be tweaked a bit An open VPN is one of them. Nowadays, communications have become the blood flow of corporations and organizations around the world. In order to survive, they need to communicate, adequately, with their internal clients (employees) and external clients (costumers). The question, though, if I use an open VPN then how do open VPN proxys work?
