Very likely MTU/fragmentation issue. If you're using PPPoE you have a
smaller MTU (1480 / 1492 bytes), some badly configured VPN endpoints
may not accept fragmentation that is necessary on packets below 1500.

Had a customer that works from home. Could not make his VPN work.
We thought perhaps it was a port issue. Opened the ports on the
Smart RG. No good.
He spend $150 over the weekend on a geek squad type of service and
they pointed their finger at us.
So, just because we haven’t tried it, we switched him to DHCP and
it started working.
We are in the process of converting everyone to DHCP.
He wants a credit in the amount of the money he paid the geek squad.
Wonder if it was truly our fault. Still don’t know why it started
working or what the problem was.
