      I am delivering 128kbps internet services to clients using pfsense.

      Is there a feature that allows for data compression for example, from SITE A to SITE B.

      Lets say Site A will compress the data and SITE B will uncompress it.

      How does this work or is there a compression feature for data on pfsense?

        Is there possibly a gzip compression onboard?

          If you use OpenVPN, you can enable LZO compression. However, if you are transferring already compressed data (MP3, pictures, zip, tar) or https/ssh/ssl that do not compress well then you might end up transferring more data then uncompressed.
