I tried the following command line /sbin/ip link set mtu 1500 dev tun0 Problem is, there is no device tun0 even though daemon.log says Dec 4 21:55:38 firewall openvpn[9273]: MTU DYNAMIC mtu=1450, flags=2, 1576 -> 1450 Dec 4 21:55:38 firewall openvpn[9273]: TUN/TAP device tun0 opened Dec 4 21:55:38 firewall openvpn[9273]: ip link set dev tun0 up mtu 1500 Dec 4 21:55:39 firewall openvpn[9273]: ip addr add dev tun0 local 10.1.1.1 peer 10.1.1.2 Dec 4 21:55:39 firewall openvpn[9273]: /etc/openvpn/openvpn.up tun0 1500 1576 10.1.1.1 10.1.1.2 init Dec 4 21:55:39 firewall openvpn[9273]: script failed: shell command exited with error status: 1 Logged in as root, I tried typing ip link set dev tun0 up mtu 1500 and I get the message SIOCSIFMTU: Operation not supported by device. ( this happens no matter what mtu I type) The only command that does not give me some nastygram from IP is ip link set tun0 But nothing shows up, if I type ip link sho firewall: -root- # ip link show 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 link/ether 00:02:e3:13:02:78 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 4: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 link/ether 00:02:e3:12:7d:94 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 6: ipsec0: <NOARP,UP> mtu 16260 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 10 link/ether 00:02:e3:13:02:78 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 7: ipsec1: <NOARP> mtu 0 qdisc noop qlen 10 link/ipip 8: ipsec2: <NOARP> mtu 0 qdisc noop qlen 10 link/ipip 9: ipsec3: <NOARP> mtu 0 qdisc noop qlen 10 link/ipip What is wrong here?
