-Some users may have noticed that Passepartout is not compatible with any compression algorithm supported by OpenVPN. This is intentional and comes from a logical reasoning. Besides being a relevant overhead against marginal gains -most protocols in the application layer (e.g. HTTP) already use compression nowadays-, compression is vulnerable to an attack that may be able to reveal the secret session keys.
+Some users may have noticed that Passepartout is was not compatible with any compression algorithm supported by OpenVPN. This is was intentional and comes came from a logical reasoning. Besides being a relevant overhead against marginal gains -most protocols in the application layer (e.g. HTTP) already use compression nowadays-, compression is vulnerable to an attack that may be able to reveal the secret session keys.
The attack is called VORACLE and is extensively explained by the very authors of OpenVPN. Most major providers have taken action and fixed the issue, but many are still refraining to disable compression for no acceptable reason. In case this happens, you are warmly encouraged to report the issue immediately and possibly link to either the official resource you find above, as it comes directly from the software makers, or this page.
