Describe the feature request

Hi, I just found out that all my frpc connection using encryption and compression, and I have to write them over and over again, could you please make them global? When the user write them in the [common] like this:

[common]
...
use_encryption = true
use_compression = true
...

Then, all the connection will enable encryption and compression.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Use tls_enable instead of use_encryption.

Sounds great, thanks a lot for your answer, I just added tls_enable to my config as you said, and I have some questions about that, hope this will not take up too much of your time:

Does TLS will make traffic easier to identify?
Is it require more resources than use_encryption?
And what should I do if I wanna use compression for all connections?

Again, thanks for your help :)

TLS is very common in the internet. You can also add disable_custom_tls_first_byte = true to eliminate particularity in frp.

Global compression is not planned. Maybe frp v2, we are working on it.

Thanks for such a clear answer, I will use tls_enable and disable_custom_tls_first_byte instead of use_encryption. Expect to see global compression in frp v2, I'm gonna close this issue for now, thanks again.

TLS 在 Internet 中非常常见。您还可以添加disable_custom_tls_first_byte = true以消除 frp 中的特殊性。

未计划全局压缩。也许 frp v2，我们正在努力。

请问使用压缩，大概会多使用多少cpu，减少多少带宽？
