Routing ppp traffic through a proxy server

[AM]

Hi,

I have setup a pptp server on a linux machine X. I am using a VPN client on an Android phone to connect to this pptp server and then access the web. The VPN connection works fine.

I also have a proxy server running on the same linux machine X, and now I want to route all the VPN traffic through this proxy server.

Could anyone pls give me pointers on how to route the VPN (pptp) traffic through my proxy server? Is there an option in pppd for doing this? Thanks.

What kind of proxy server ?
What do you mean exatly by "route all traffic" ? A proxy server does
generally handle only one or a few application-layer protocols (e.g.
HTTP, SOCKS), not all kinds of network traffic.

You can forward HTTP traffic to a local transparent HTTP proxy server
but it won't handle other kinds or network traffic.

This has nothing to do with pppd.
