Feature description

I'm working on a project where the only way for me to connect to
the internet is through a HTTP Proxy. I can't change this fact.
The OS is Ubuntu 22.04

As a VPN Service I want to use mullvad. But I can't authenticate my account or establish a vpn connection with the mullvad GUI.
Neither via the direct method nor via bridge mode.

Using the openvpn client and a customized mullvad configuration file (adding the http proxy parameter) works.
So in general a openvpn connection can be established through the HTTP Proxy. Because of this it should be also possible to implement using a HTTP Proxy in the Mullvad GUI / Deamon.

In summary this feauture request focus on implementing and using a HTTP Proxy Adress and Port for an openvpn connection.

Alternative solutions

As described in general a connection to the mullvad servers with the openvpn client through a HTTP Proxy ist possible.
To implement this feature in the GUI and the daemon would be ease the use of Mullvad for the user.
