PPTP WAN (still) issue (MTU and fragmentation) going from 1.2.3 to 2.0RC3
-
I opened a thread on the mailling list.
When the 2.0 anouncement came, i repleyed on that by asking if this was resolved.
The following anwer came
That's not a general issue, and haven't heard that from anyone else,
not sure what you're seeing.I replied on that by explaining what i saw and how in my case i got that fixed.
I also reffered to this thread on the forum.Then to my surprise i almost got a ban from the mailing list, this was the answer i got on my relpy.
Stop here, you're hijacking a thread. Bump your own thread if you want
to continue.I replied again with a sorry that it was not my intention to hijajack a thread. ( i really was not )
And that i already had a threat on the mailling list about this issue and gave the link to the thread on the mailling list.Never heard anything after that.
I did not send an e-mail to the mailling list after that so maybe i am already banned :(, i hope not, because i like to help out sometimes, and i learn a lot about PFSense through the mailling list.So i really do not know the status.

Hi,
Opening a ticket is probably the best way forward since several people clearly have the same reproducible problem with PPTP (some might call that a bug ;)) . I don't know how to get from a discussion on the forum to an actual ticket in pfsense's bugtracker - mseiwald, if you are capable of raising a ticket, yes please!
Probably a good idea to include Sylhouette's two fixes in the bug description as well.
rgds,

Hi all,
Just noticed 2.0.1 is out! Before I give it a try, I was wondering if anyone knows if the PPTP WAN problem that existed since 2.0RC1 has been properly fixed yet. Doesn't seem to be (explicitly) in the list of changes in the release notes but who knows..

I'm seeing an MTU issue after upgrading from 1.2.3 to 2.0. I 'fixed' this by editing
/var/etc/pptp-vpn/mpd.conf
and adding:
set link mtu 1396
Then, killing the mpd process and restarting it:
/usr/local/sbin/mpd4 -b -d /var/etc/pptp-vpn -p /var/run/pptp-vpn.pid -s pptps pptps
That's not a pfSense 'solution' but perhaps others here could try it to see if our problems are the same?
This wasn't necessary before, so I'm wondering if defaults are different, path MTU discovery is somehow broken, etc. BTW, I read that XP's pptp client requires 1396, so that's what I set for a compatibility floor.
