Hi All,
As discussed in the conf call I did a test of the LZO option and the result was not what I had hoped for, at least with Network Manager - openvpn plugin.
Using my vm testbed, I created a client with LZO option enabled.
I made an opnvpn connection which was successful and worked.
Then I disabled LZO on the server but left the client as it was.
Remade the connection. The connection showed as CONNECTED in the openvpn WUI page but in my Arch Linux log for the network manager I got a periodic message of
nm-openvpn[1266]: Bad LZO decompression header byte: 42
Additionally trying to use the browser through the tunnel failed with the web sites timing out.
So at least with Network Manager Openvpn plugin turning LZO off on the server ,when the client has it specified, does not work the way we discussed.
I will do a further test with openvpn directly on the command line but if one openvpn client doesn't accept LZO being turned off on the server if it is enabled in the client this means we can't remove the LZO option and default it to disabled on the WUI page.
Regards,
Adolf.
