netgate. html#mss-clamping My request is to have an option to set MSS for all interfaces that are VTI. Make the following changes: - Automatically restart applicable OpenVPN services when applying interface changes. com/pfsense/en/latest/config/advanced-firewall-nat. Enable MSS clamping on VPN traffic - What are the consequences? We have problems with our IPSec VPNs, with large packets. None of the above :-) System > Advanced, Misc tab. I wanted to find out what is the difference between the 2? According to netgate documenation, if using IPsec VTIs, you have to set the MSS value for each interface https://docs. This helps overcome problems with path MTU discovery (PMTUD) on IPsec VPN links. Updated over 1 year ago. However, there was not really much traffic flowing over the connection at this time. This is useful if large TCP packets have problems traversing the VPN, or if slow/choppy connections across the VPN are observed by users. So if you are having weird problems with IPSec, try enabling MSS clamping at 1392! MSS clamping on VPN traffic does not work on IPsec IPv6 mobile VPNs Added by Richard Laager over 2 years ago. Do I have any problems with other systems or is this not a problem? - There's no indication to the user that using a non-default MTU with OpenVPN DCO also requires setting the MSS. The pfSense setting explanations read: MTU: If you leave this field blank, Aug 19, 2019 · One is by setting MSS clamping in IPsec tab Advanced settings and the other is directly on the IPsec interface below the MTU setting. OK so I understand that the MSS clamping won't affect the ICMP results shown above (thankyou for that info), but I still have the black hole issue in my pfsense-to-pfsense VPN which appears to break tcp as well. IPSec setting "Maximum MSS" (MSS clamping) is acting on traffic that doesn't pass across IPSec, perhaps WAN traffic or even local traffic (LAN-to-LAN, each LAN physically connected to same pfsense). TCP MSS clamping applies to packets that transit Contivity gateway and to packets that originate or end on Contivity. I didn't notice any bad influence on the existing IPSec VPN. MSS clamping is used to prevent a packet from being fragmented, a fragment being lost and retransmits having to occur. - Automatically set tun-mtu as needed. The setting was applied immediately to the next connections within the IPSec. Check the box "Enable MSS clamping on VPN traffic" and then enter whatever value you like. Especially the speed is a problem. The proposed solution is to enable MSS clamping and set it to 1300. Dec 15, 2025 · MSS Clamping Enable maximum segment size clamping on TCP flows over IPsec tunnels. This is needed because OpenVPN only does MSS clamping when DCO is disabled. Jim Dec 6, 2012 · My ISP (Verizon DSL) seems to work best with MTU set at 1492 and MSS set at 1452. TCP clamping is done on clear text packets; once packets are encrypted the contents cannot be modified. Many firewalls (rightfully) drop fragmented packets, too, so breaks a lot of websites and TCP services. Turning on MSS clamping at 1400 made things better, so I turned it down to 1392 and everything is now perfect. Mar 26, 2024 · I recently enabled MSS clamping on the IPSec interface in OPNsense, because of packet fragmentation on a VPN to a pfSense. Right now i have over 30 VTI tunnels and planning on doing more in the future. .
