This still sounds very much like an MTU problem, especially with the unresponded ACKs. You might explore clamping the MTU through the VPN. You didn't say what VPN client you're using, but if you use a robust VPN system such as OpenVPN you have control over the MTU of packets sent through the tunnel.
In OpenVPN, the --tun-mtu, --fragment and --mssfix options are available to help tune packet size through your tunnel. I highly recommend OpenVPN. It's easy to set up, robust, secure and runs on both Unix-like systems (Linux, BSD, Mac OS-X) and Windows. On Wed, 2008-01-09 at 20:00 +0100, Oliver Schad wrote: > Am Mittwoch, 9.
