Hi, I have kind of an odd problem recently. I just started a new job, and since I got here, I have had problems with my VPN dropping fairly regularly. I am using the same hardware I have had it on for the last year or so, a Mac PowerBook G3 and my home firewall (PPro 200, but soon to be upgraded). Both are running Debian Linux, the G3 runs unstable, and the firewall runs testing. The issue seems to happen whenever a large amount of traffic needs to come down the tunnel, e.g. a directory listing of a particularly large directory, or even on occasion doing something like a df or apt-get update, the thing will freeze and eventually time out with a connection reset by peer error. I am also not able to scp across the tunnel. scp sits there in a -stalled- state forever. Nothing has changed on either end, but I talked to the admins on this site in generalities, and they said they have a SonicWall firewall. I know its nothing as blatant as blocking port 5000/udp, but I'm wondering if it could be some kind of MTU problem going out across the firewall or a router. I have had no problems with traffic on the regular ethernet out to the Internet, just across the vpn tunnel. Right now, the MTU on the tunnel ends is 1258, the MTU on the ethernet is 1500. The only difference network-wise that I am aware of is that they are using a sonicwall firewall, but I googled for openvpn interactions, and found nothing. Anybody got any ideas on how to fix or work around this?
