using

Code: Select all

comp-lzo
you can compress the data between client and server; whether you'll get data reduction rates of 50% depends on the type of data that flows over the tunnel; plain text might be compressed up to 50% but already compressed data (JPGs, MP3, etc) will not be compressed.
