A thorough fix for MTU issues would be needed sooner or later. For now I think the reason is to be found here:
Read: TCP is not capping packet size (.max
), and your server MTU recommendation is currently ignored by the client. The result is that packets can easily get too big to handle (2989 bytes).
Would you try UDP for comparison?
Would you try UDP for comparison?
Yes, after changing proto tcp-client
into proto udp
I am able to connect!
However, I would like to use TCP (and port 443), since this has a lower chance of being blocked by restrictive firewalls.
Cool I think I can at least mitigate this in the next Passepartout beta.
TCP port 443 works fine in build 1075. Thanks!
