[Openvpn-users] OpenVPN with LZ4

[Abi A. <rig...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I have compiled that latest openvpn 2.4.3, as below:

apt-get install libpam0g-dev liblzo2-dev liblz4-dev

./configure --build=x86_64-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
OPENSSL_LIBS="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto"
OPENSSL_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/ssl/include" --disable-debug
--disable-dependency-tracking --with-crypto-library=openssl
--enable-iproute2

make

make install


Then I created a deb file from the above.

Do I need to install any LZ4 libraries on other devices where the resulting
openvpn deb file is to be installed?

I was thinking that Lz4 tools might not be needed and that LZ4 compression
will be handled from the kernel. (When installing the deb file without
installing any LZ4 user space tools I did not receive any warning or error
and the VPN tunnnel was able to establish)


Thanx,

Abi
