<ul></ul><p>We already have options for the new compress style. The older options are still there as well, but they can stay until OpenVPN actually removes them. Some older clients like them better than the new style.</p> pfSense - Feature #10651: Remove/replace deprecated OpenVPN optionshttps://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/10651?journal_id=467062020-06-10T11:25:56ZPippin MMD

<p>Makes sense, given this quote on that page:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Contrary to prior statements --comp-lzo no is not compatible with the --compress counterpart. Therefore openvpn needs to keep supporting --comp-lzo no for backward compatibility.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>That lines up with things we've seen. Though a lot of older clients have caught up, there are still some which aren't as easy to update, such as VoIP phones with OpenVPN built in that use really old versions.</p>
