Of course, but a typo is easily made and overlooked causing filtering
between the LAN and CIPE interface...
Also: ICMP traffic can be involved for routing CIPE's UDP packets...


CIPE automatically adjusts the MTU as required, but I have also tried
smaller packets, without any improvement.


The so called MTU problem is not CIPE's but other's having problems with
CIPE's 1442 or 1428 MTU.


I have tried cutting the MTU way back to 440 bytes. The problem still exists.

Also, given that the external world sees only the encrypted packets, shouldn't things like MTU or ICMP affect every protocol and not just SMB or NFS?
