Support for the "setMTU" Setting in Wireguard #236

Closed xamor closed 7 months ago

xamor commented 7 months ago

Using the Windows eduVPN client the setMTU setting in wireguard seems to bee ignored. The MTU ist still on 1420.

  1420                1         92207          8377  eduvpn.uni-konstanz.de

There are some cases we need a lower MTU (vodafone in germany using ds-lite for example).

The MTU is configured on the eduVPN server side: https://docs.eduvpn.org/server/v3/wireguard.html#setting-the-mtu

Server prepares .ovpn/wg-quick.conf that eduVPN client passes on to OpenVPN/WireGuard.

Yes, i configured it on the server side, so it seems to work on android but not on windows. The mtu is left on 1420 in windows but on server side it is configured setMtu => 1280

Will look into it. See where this gets lost.

Looking into this and eduVPN client does set interface MTU: image

Can you activate WireGuard connection using eduVPN client and run netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces on your PC to examine the MTU set on your eduVPN server matches the MTU set on the WireGuard interface, please?

Also, can you login to https://eduvpn.uni-konstanz.de and create a WireGuard profile there. See if it has the MTU line:

[Interface]
MTU = nnnn

I checked my config again, so i think i found my mistake. "setMtu" is a global Wireguard option... I still don't know why it worked on android but now it is working. I' am Sorry for my mistake and thank you for your help!

You can close this bug report.
