Description
Based on a sf.net bug report:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2945147&group_id=48978&atid=454720
The <connection> profile logic is not too advanced at the moment, and some configuration options are not allowed inside a <connection> even though it would be beneficial to have them there. Some of these options are even documented that should work inside <connection> blocks, but still doesn't.
Known options which should work but doesn't:
--nobind
Options which should be considered suported:
--auto-proxy, --mssfix, --fragment, --link-mtu, --socket-flags
Some options which needs even more careful considerations
--no-replay, --replay-window, --cipher, --tls-cipher
Those last options should be considered as it might be you need different replay algorithms or cipher algorithms if switching from UDP to TCP via proxy, etc. This might be a useful last-attempt tweak around connection stability and/or performance issues between profiles.
