Yes, i understand that. However, i wonder how to make a VPN
with compression and also the scheme is like this:

file server with real ip  <-> natd <-> cleints

So, clients do no have real IP addresses and stay behind
nat server which serves many people who are not the clients
of the file server. Is it possible to setup VPN in such situation?
