Hi, I am trying to connect a RouterOS 7 (7.12.1) device to a Pritunl server (v1.32.3805.95 ae9281) using config files as it seems they are now [supported](https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/OpenVPN) in RouterOS. The config imports but with warnings on RouterOS ```auto 19:54:41 ovpn,warning unsupported configuration parameter 'setenv' 19:54:41 ovpn,warning unsupported configuration parameter 'setenv' 19:54:41 ovpn,warning unsupported configuration parameter 'dev-type' 19:54:41 ovpn,warning unsupported configuration parameter 'remote-random' 19:54:41 ovpn,warning unsupported configuration parameter 'mute' 19:54:41 ovpn,warning unsupported configuration parameter 'push-peer-info' 19:54:41 ovpn,warning unsupported configuration parameter 'hand-window' 19:54:41 ovpn,warning unsupported configuration parameter 'server-poll-timeout' 19:54:41 ovpn,warning unsupported configuration parameter 'reneg-sec' 19:54:41 ovpn,warning unsupported configuration parameter 'sndbuf' 19:54:41 ovpn,warning unsupported configuration parameter 'rcvbuf' 19:54:41 ovpn,warning unsupported configuration parameter 'max-routes' 19:54:41 ovpn,warning unsupported configuration parameter 'comp-lzo' ``` The client then connects fine but I get the following in the Pritunl server logs and no traffic passes the tunnel ```auto [thriving-forest-9169] Tue Aug 6 21:33:34 2024 Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in /tmp/pritunl_3281e75ee67749e3bffd065206134725/46a055703ab148cfbf8d8bc2dcf55d79/openvpn.conf:31: allow-compression (2.4.12) [thriving-forest-9169] Tue Aug 6 21:33:34 2024 OpenVPN 2.4.12 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] [MH/PKTINFO] [AEAD] built on Jun 27 2024 [thriving-forest-9169] Tue Aug 6 21:33:34 2024 library versions: OpenSSL 1.1.1f 31 Mar 2020, LZO 2.10 [thriving-forest-9169] Tue Aug 6 21:33:34 2024 TUN/TAP device tun26 opened [thriving-forest-9169] Tue Aug 6 21:33:34 2024 /sbin/ip link set dev tun26 up mtu 1500 [thriving-forest-9169] Tue Aug 6 21:33:34 2024 /sbin/ip addr add dev tun26 10.0.25.1/25 broadcast 10.0.25.127 [thriving-forest-9169] Tue Aug 6 21:33:34 2024 setsockopt(IPV6_V6ONLY=0) [thriving-forest-9169] Tue Aug 6 21:33:34 2024 UDPv6 link local (bound): [AF_INET6][undef]:19588 [thriving-forest-9169] Tue Aug 6 21:33:34 2024 UDPv6 link remote: [AF_UNSPEC] [thriving-forest-9169] Tue Aug 6 21:33:34 2024 Initialization Sequence Completed [thriving-forest-9169] 2024-08-06 21:33:36 COM> SUCCESS: bytecount interval changed [thriving-forest-9169] Tue Aug 6 21:33:43 2024 90.155.95.178:42000 peer info: IV_PROTO=2 [thriving-forest-9169] Tue Aug 6 21:33:43 2024 90.155.95.178:42000 WARNING: 'link-mtu' is used inconsistently, local='link-mtu 1558', remote='link-mtu 1557' [thriving-forest-9169] Tue Aug 6 21:33:43 2024 90.155.95.178:42000 WARNING: 'comp-lzo' is present in local config but missing in remote config, local='comp-lzo' [thriving-forest-9169] Tue Aug 6 21:33:43 2024 90.155.95.178:42000 [6672d05428d11f8c8a189bab] Peer Connection Initiated with [AF_INET6]::ffff:90.155.95.178:42000 [thriving-forest-9169] 2024-08-06 21:33:43 COM> SUCCESS: client-auth command succeeded [thriving-forest-9169] Tue Aug 6 21:33:43 2024 6672d05428d11f8c8a189bab/90.155.95.178:42000 MULTI_sva: pool returned IPv4=10.0.25.2, IPv6=(Not enabled) [thriving-forest-9169] 2024-08-06 21:33:43 User connected user_id=6672d05428d11f8c8a189bab [thriving-forest-9169] Tue Aug 6 21:33:54 2024 6672d05428d11f8c8a189bab/90.155.95.178:42000 Bad compression stub decompression header byte: 42 [thriving-forest-9169] Tue Aug 6 21:34:04 2024 6672d05428d11f8c8a189bab/90.155.95.178:42000 Bad compression stub decompression header byte: 42 [thriving-forest-9169] Tue Aug 6 21:34:14 2024 6672d05428d11f8c8a189bab/90.155.95.178:42000 Bad compression stub decompression header byte: 42 [thriving-forest-9169] Tue Aug 6 21:34:24 2024 6672d05428d11f8c8a189bab/90.155.95.178:42000 NOTE: --mute triggered...

Any thoughts? Cheers James ---

On side server need write parametr comp-lzo adaptive.
