Hi Dan,

This smells like packet size. Standard ICMP (ping) packets are too small to see anything. Did you fiddle with max-mtu/link-mtu in the OpenVPN config?

Try to perform Path MTU Discovery manually (ping -M do -s xxxx <client address>). Then on the client side set OpenVPN *link-mtu* value to the actual MTU minus 28. Or rely on OpenVPN to discover the correct value by using mtu-test in the client config.

The ping will fail for me on xxxx=1474 and suffice on xxxx=1472 against one of my OpenVPN clients.
