Hi Everyone,

    Here is an update for this issue.

  I have upgraded the openvpn server to 2.4.6.  I upgraded all the client vpn's to 2.4.6. I then called Rogers for the 2 phones.  They confirmed there is an issue with vpn in general and IPV6.  Their solution was to first redo my phone config on their server. Now 3G openvpn works properly on my phone. LTE still does not work. At least it is a start. The next thing they said they are going to do is to remove our 2 phones from the IPV6 configuration which takes 48 hrs. I am going to wait a couple of days and
see what happens.
    So basically Rogers changed the config on their end and I changed nothing, and it is working
on 3G.

Re: [Openvpn-users] iphone7 with keynote I don't have time to walk you through all the details and troubleshoot - but while 1440 might be a good choice, I'd probably pick something like 1400 or even 1380. As I've said a few times - if you pick an MTU of 1440 and you really needed 1339, it won't work. But if you pick 1400 and it could have been as big as 1440 it will still work, with *slightly* less efficient through-put of useable data.

Picking exactly 1440, trying one MTU and giving up, seems pretty counter-productive. [There are some tutorials on testing and picking the optimal MTU, a Google search might be useful. However, IME, picking something a bit smaller than your tested optimal MTU helps should something else occur that reduces the MTU further in a different/new connection.]

Test several MTU sizes; I tend to vary them by say 20 bytes each try.

[TLDR; I'd rather have my MTU 100 bytes too small than 1 byte too large - because one byte too large will probably fail and 100 bytes too small will still work [while being slightly less efficient than the maximum.]

Good luck!
