-**Compression:**  Sometimes, compression can increase VPN speeds. You can adjust the default of "0" (disabled) to as high as "11". You must configure all nodes with the same setting. Since most VPN traffic is already compressed at the application layer, consider whether you need this enabled. Enabling compression adds extra workload to the CPU, and may not increase throughput.

-RSA is optional in Tinc versions 1.0 and later. You must provide minimal details for all hosts defined before you can click OK and go to the next row. Clicking OK **does not** save settings. Only after you've defined all hosts, clicked "OK" for each, and clicked "Save" will all host settings be saved.
