I've been using OpenVPN client on Windows 10 for a while now. (I'm currently traveling abroad.) But today it stopped working. To the best of my knowledge I did not change anything neither in my laptop here, nor on the server side.
Here's what the OpenVPN client giving me in the log when I try to connect:
On the server-side, I'm using my Synology NAS in my apartment in the US with the following setup:Sat Sep 2 05:43:48 2023 WARNING: Compression for receiving enabled. Compression has been used in the past to break encryption. Sent packets are not compressed unless "allow-compression yes" is also set.
