I'm new to OpenVPN and I hope I post this in the right forum. I'm trying to setup a VPN connection using openvpn on my tp-link archer C1200 router to be able to connect to my home NAS securely. I have got it working, but the config-file generated by my router contains the line [oconf=Client Config ]comp-lzo adaptive [/oconf] I read that using compression was unsecure so I'm trying to disable it If I remove the line I can't connect anymore. How do I disable compression and how big of a security risk is it leaving it on? I can't find an option to turn compression on or off in the router settings.

If I remove the line I can't connect anymore. How do I disable compression and how big of a security risk is it leaving it on? I can't find an option to turn compression on or off in the router settings.
