hi @Zyxel_Tina

OpenVPN DCO provides performance improvements on Access Server.

OpenVPN DCO changes how Access Server handles the data flowing through the VPN tunnel. With DCO, data channel encryption and decryption are offloaded to kernel space, allowing the kernel to handle the work instead of dealing with it in user space. This saves on copy operations from kernel to user space and back and uses multi-threading.
