Thanks  for the hint,  but the  proxy I'm  behind opens  only the
ports  for http and  https (ftp  can work  only if  tunneled thru
http), and the OpenVPN doc  clearly says that the firewall should
forward the port 1194.

Forwarding ssh is not allowed  (company policy, don't ask), so if
I goes  to the admins asking  for an exotic port  (their view not
mine) the response will be a resounding: "What?" :-)

Thanks anyway,

       Vincent
