Hello everybody!
OpenVPN v2.4.7 on Lubuntu 20.04 with mainline kernel 5.11.
My VPN provider still pushes option
comp-lzo no , unfortunately.
I carefully read the documentation and know that its been deprecated & replaced by "compress".
Before contacting them to ask for a change, I would like to check with you guys.
I do not want compression on the client side at all and wish to disable it.
Problematic behavior:
Completely removing any
comp-lzo option from the Client Config:
WARNING: 'link-mtu' is used inconsistently, local='link-mtu 1557', remote='link-mtu 1558'
WARNING: 'comp-lzo' is present in remote config but missing in local config, remote='comp-lzo'
Solution:
Adding
comp-lzo no in the
Client Config:
Fixes all warnings, immediately.
The doc says that using comp-lzo no in the client conf only disables compression unless something else is pushed by the server, which is fine by me since they'll never enable it by default.
Question:
Could I continue to use "comp-lzo no" in the client conf as it produces no warnings, even if the server eventually makes the change to "compress", or I upgrade to OpenVPN v2.5, where the option is supposedly removed?
