+
+Fragmentation of encapsulated return packets to the LAC may be avoided
+for TCP sessions by adding a firewall rule to clamps the MSS on
+outgoing SYN packets.
+
+The following is appropriate for interfaces with a typical MTU of
+1500:
+
+<pre>
+iptables -A FORWARD -i tun+ -o eth0 \
+ -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN \
+ -m tcpmss --mss 1413:1600 \
