rdp connection fails if MTU is not adjusted
Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2022 6:15 pm
I have a strange problem (windows) when connecting to a rdp server (windows 10 rdp, not terminalserver):
If I am located in a foreign Wifi, then connect to the remote network using the SE client. Connection is ok, but I cannot access any host using rdp in the remote network.
If I use the mobile brodband adapter (built into the notebook) to connect to the VPN everythiing works.
The VPN is a L2 bridge VPN
I can fix this by lowering the MTU of the SE VPN adapter to 1290 (tested a ping with the DF flag and found that from 1300up the ping will not return).
What could be the reason behind this?
