I burnt 2 days earlier this month because `comp-lzo` is apparently distinct from `compress lz4` and fixing that required an OS upgrade (because it didn't exist before 2.4 and this VM isn't on the bleeding edge), which killed my VM's desktop environment, so I ended up needing to rebuild the entire environment. Even after that, the GNOME network manager doesn't respect the existence of this flag, so I have to work around the OS.
Changing the VPN server's configuration to disable compression wasn't an option either. (Compression oracles are bad, m'kay?)
If they were using WireGuard, this problem wouldn't have existed in the first place. Maybe compare/contrast them for yourself? You may find WireGuard even easier to get running.
I for one welcome our modern crypto overlords.
