            For Tunnel mode MSS 1328 is most effective:

              WOAH! Massive difference (in only one direction)...

              From US -> Europe

              [SUM]   0.00-10.00  sec   252 MBytes   211 Mbits/sec  9691             sender
              [SUM]   0.00-10.20  sec   233 MBytes   192 Mbits/sec                  receiver
              

              Europe -> US

              [SUM]   0.00-10.20  sec  22.0 MBytes  18.1 Mbits/sec    0             sender
              [SUM]   0.00-10.00  sec  20.5 MBytes  17.2 Mbits/sec                  receiver

                Nice, but now you have to find a way to the paring jungle how it will work fast on both ways.
                Looks like US -> EU runs a other way than EU -> US.

                We talk about that, in our last meeting and the solution is not easy.
                One Point is to use a Cloud Service Provider he is present on both sides and you can use the interconnect between this cloud instances.

                  @NOCling and unfortunately my success was very short-lived ...
                  It looks like iperf3 traffic is still improved, but I'm moving data at 500kB/s - 1.50MB/s

                    @SpaceBass if you temp switch to Wireguard does the issue follow?
                    If it does it may not be MTU related.

                      How do you move your Data?
                      SMB is a very bad decision for high latency ways, you need rsync or other wan optimized protocols.

                        rsync - have tried both an NFSv4 mount and over ssh (for testing purpose)
