Then I found this page: http://mia.ece.uic.edu/~papers/volans/openvpn1.html Quotting it: "... Each layer of protocol adds some bytes of overhead. This is illustrated in the above diagram. It is quite complicated to pint-point the amount of overhead introduced by the openvpn later, as it depends largely on thhe cipher + HMAC in use, and many other factors....." There are tables too, which have the experiment's results to find the overhead. After reading it, then we can conclude that the packet's data size change based of a lot of variants. And the fragment, mssfix and mtu change in each implementation.
