OpenVPN server config problems - compression and authorization on RBR40

The OpenVPN server on this model is still using SHA1 authorization and lz0 compression and those (along with other things like link MTU size) cannot be set anywhere.  SHA1 is long outdated and vulnerable and really needs to be replaced.  lz0 has been deprecated and is also a security vulnerabiliby.

I haven't seen any way (through web interface or telnet) to change any of these settings.  There is a vpn_compress_conf set to '694649456848239', whatever that means.

Has anyone found a way to alter any of these settings or heard anything about upcoming firmware that will address this?  I'm on the latest 2.5.1.16.
