There seems a NULL Encryption method available in IPSec for debugging or for some environment that does not need encryption.

Is it possible to config IPSec encryption method in Network Agent? Thank you!

There is not a way to configure this today.

Will there be any plan to implement the configuration in the future?  
As it could boost network performance by turning off the encryption, especially when user is using some private cloud service like AWS VPC where the network is in a close environment and user prefers network performance more than the encryption.

You can always add an enhancement request for it in Github.

@Alex_Ron Don’t worry about the labels. I have already updated it. 🙂
