 VPN sessions are also owned by the user which started it.  But the [https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn3-linux/blob/master/docs/man/openvpn3-service-sessionmgr.8.rst Session Manager] also provides its own Access Control List feature via [https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn3-linux/blob/master/docs/man/openvpn3-session-acl.1.rst `openvpn3 session-acl`].

+== **TECH-PREVIEW:** OpenVPN Data Channel Offload - kernel module support ==
+
+As of v11_beta, the OpenVPN 3 Linux client ships with Data Channel Offload (DCO) support.  This is currently only supported on Fedora and Ubuntu 20.04.
+
+To enable it, first install the `kmod-ovpn-dco` package from the software repositories described on this page.
+
+=== Ubuntu preparation
+{{{
+    # apt install kmod-ovpn-dco
+}}}
+
+=== Fedora preparation
+{{{
+    # yum install kmod-ovpn-dco
+}}}
+
+=== Enable DCO on a VPN configuration profile
+Now the OpenVPN configuration file must be pre-imported and the DCO mode must be activated:
+{{{
+    $ openvpn3 config-import --config CONFIG_FILE --name CONFIG_NAME --persistent
+    $ openvpn3 config-manage --show --config CONFIG_NAME --dco true
+}}}
+
+And now a VPN session with DCO activated can be started as any normal VPN session:
+{{{
+    $ openvpn3 session-start --config CONFIG_NAME
+}}}
