No, the IP/ROHC tunnel doesn't encrypt the data channel. Only the
control channel is.

With some additional work, the data channel could be encrypted the same
way the control channel is, but it was not the initial objective of the
IP/ROHC tunnel.

The OpenVPN patch for ROHC was a kind of test. There are some rough
edges remaining.

The server runs in background by default. Run it with the -d or --debug
options to stay in foreground.

The client runs in foreground only. The background mode was not
implemented yet. It could be done quite easily if needed.

Didier
