Jean-Pierre on the openvpn list gave me this pointer -- hope it helps
anyone else using openvpn (and lacks the openvpn decoder ring, as I do
;-). The command line parameters are
"
According to the manpage for the --up command:
cmd tun_dev tun_mtu link_mtu ifconfig_local_ip if-
config_remote_ip [ init | restart ]
So that 1576 is your link mtu. I believe it is of no use here...
"
Since I *think* the purpose of tun_mtu might be to set the tun_mtu, as I
did in the openvpn.conf file, I might try:
/sbin/ip link set mtu $3 dev $1
/sbin/ip route add $4/32 via dev $1
Thanks Erich! (et Jean-Pierre aussi)
Rick.
