NordVPN – error: Compression is not allowed, but compression option isn’t on FT

I followed NordVPN's official guide to set up with FreshTomato. I started the VPN client on FT, and got errors from the log. What do they mean? I don't even know where redirect-gateway and redirect-private are mentioned.

And for compression, yes I know the guide instructs me to disable compression from the Advanced tab, but the tab doesn't have this option.

FreshTomato version 2026.3 on Netgear R7000

warn WARNING: You have specified redirect-gateway and redirect-private at the same time (or the same option multiple times). This is not well supported and may lead to unexpected results

err Compression or compression stub framing is not allowed since OpenVPN was built without compression support.

err OPTIONS ERROR: server pushed compression settings that are not allowed and will result in a non-working connection. See also allow-compression in the manual.

err ERROR: Failed to apply push options

err Failed to open tun/tap interface
