Hello Folks,

I have a small openvpn server, serving about 10 various clients running OS-es 
such as:

-Windows7 32bit
-Windows7 64bit
-Debian 32bit
-Debian 64bit
-Android 4.x

All the clients have the same configuration file (except the cert directives), 
I only have issues with the 64bit Windows7 and this seems to popup on the net 
on other places. Sometimes I experience terrible slow page loads, when I run 
wireshark on the wifi or lan interface I don't see problems but when I look 
into the VPN interface I see all kinds of dup, ack, out-of-order, 
retransmission packets.

Some other posts recommended decreasing the MTU for the VPN tap interface in 
windows, this was a bit of help:

This is only the 64bit windows clients traffic on the graph, it was trying to 
suffer a steam update down. I decreased the MTU from 1500 to 1400 at 17:00 
which clearly shows up. I also read that Windows 7 autotunes the MTU, not sure 
if it's true.

Now comes the strange part, after rebooting the machine openvpn refused to 
connect with error code 31 on the tap interface until I set the MTU back to 
1500. Then I tried to adjust the mtu through the tun-mtu parameter from the 
config but if I put this in then it always just said connection failed.

I tried 3 recent 64bit openvpn versions, currently I'm using the latest stable.

Does anybody else having this issues? It is not firewall related because I 
getting about the same results from different lan and wifi networks.

Thanks
