Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Compression Support:
The protocols used in VPN applications are not optimized for the Internet. For example, the db protocol of SQL Server has no compression function, so we hope that the network layer can perform compression, similar to n2n. n2n supports two types of compression: LZO (1x) ZSTD. ZeroTier also has compression.

Describe the solution you'd like
Can you consider enabling compression on the server side and then compressing all clients?

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

Hello, this is a stale issue, and would require major architectural changes to implement. For the sake of issue consolidation, please instead open a GitHub Discussion if you still want this feature. Thanks!
