OpenVPN For SXR80 (DEPRECATED OPTION)

I have the latest firmware on my SXR80. I have OpenVPN 2.6.10 on my laptop. I have DDNS setup and teh OpenVPN enabled on the router. 

 

When connecting per the instructions I get this error:

WARNING: Compression for receiving enabled. Compression has been used in the past to break encryption. Sent packets are not compressed unless  "allow-compression yes"

DEPRECATED OPTION: --cipher set to 'AES-128-CBC' but missing in --data-cipers (AES-256-GCM:AES-128_GCM) OpenVPN ignores --cipher for negotiations

 

Is the OpenVPN on the router to old to support fixes for these options?

    Virtually all OpenVPN implementations on require a bottom-up rework: Consumer routers, as well as the Orbi Pro, only few exceptions like the PR60X with it's hopefully coming up decent OpenVPN.

     

    Iphie_C please.
