Voracle Vulnerability
Got a problem with Viscosity or need help? Ask here!
Eric,
To address this vulnerability, VPN Providers turned off their compression protocol in their respective apps. Subsequently, they have modified their manual config files by adding "comp-lzo no"
However, under viscosity app, "Options -> Compression", this needs to be set to "Automatic", instead to "Off", otherwise, you will get no internet connection even though you have a "Connected Status"
Any thoughts?

Hi mark,
"comp-lzo no" and it's replacement command "compress" do not turn compression off, they simply turn compression off by default but allow the server to push a command to turn compression back on as well as support packet framing compression. Please have a look at the OpenVPN manual for more information on this.
I recommend you contact your VPN Provider.

Eric
