Perhaps you want to say: iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu
? Another simple possibility for small networks is to adjust the default MSS of every client to something about 1400. (that value fits for nearly every kind of tunnel) Christian PS: Something like a crazy workaround is to establish two tunnels and bundle them with MPP. Finally you could get 'virtual' 1500 MSS.
