Ok, I am able to make a connection. It does connect. There is no data
going through the connection.
     I am trying to upgrade to 2.4.6 but I am having issues compiling. The OS is slackware-12.1 which is very old now so it may not be compatible. I am getting an err.h error. Says it finds it, but cannot compile it and I should report it.

Re: [Openvpn-users] iphone7 with keynote Top posting:

This is exactly right - many ISP's are *NOT* generating/returning the ICMP "Fragmentation needed" responses - in which case, your reliance on PMTU will result in a completely failed connection. [For my users, at least, that's the *MOST UNDESIRABLE* option of any.]

Using a smaller MTU than the maximum available does make transmissions slightly more inefficient. [Less data in each packet, and a fixed header, means that the data:header ratio gets worse.]

But hey, slightly decreased efficiency vs no-worky [along with upset, frustrated users, upset frustrated IT folk, missed opportunities, calls while I'm on vacation etc.]

Well, given my life, I'll choose the slightly-less-efficient-and-worky-all-the-time-without-hassle-every-single-time choice.

>> If you have access to the server configuration, try setting link-mtu 1440. Rogers had an MTU of 1460 previously but recently migrated all their iPhone devices to IPv6 only, which requires NAT64 if your VPN server is IPv4-only. This reduces the MTU by 20 bytes. There appear to be issues with path MTU discovery on UDP on Rogers right now, and I am not sure about OpenVPN PMTUD support, but make sure your server (if it is yours) can support PMTUD to be on the safe side.
