Then I misunderstood what is written here? https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/DeprecatedOptions#Option:--compress "Compression is not recommended and is a feature users should avoid using. To signal this clearly, --comp-lzo and --compress are discouraged and considered deprecated features. Beginning with 2.5, these options will no longer enable compression, just enable the compression framing to be able to receive compressed packets." That made me feel compression support in 2.5 is only on a compatibility level.
