I cannot access my job's VPN from home
I am currently working from home. I use a company provided laptop with an always on VPN client to access my job's servers. No problem with spectrum cable. I have the brand new grey t-mobile gateway ...
My PS4 was not performing well network-wise. Got to poking around a bit on the laptop and discovered my MTU has dropped 1420 on TMO. Puts MSS at 1380. Was running my PS4 at 1470 MTU from the old network… dropped it to 1400 and it is much more consistent now.
Might want to tweak the VPN so it is not trying to send anything larger than that 1380 (if you can access an MTU setting). 1380 and not the full 1420 so there is headroom above the VPN’s encapsulation for additional header information as it goes through the networks.
