    Dear Sir or Madam

    I don't really know which side to get to the problem with the network I have.

    From a laptop (actually two business and private) connect to the network at work using OpenVPN. After logging in via OpenVPN, log in to the server using SSH and Putty software. Everything works perfectly in many places (hotels, airports, even the simplest internet in the family) except for one place: an attempt to connect from me from home. Symptoms are that I can log in via ssh, I can even partially work until I want to write something larger to the terminal with an ssh connection, for example running mc or trying to view a large file using the less command (several thousand lines). At this point the terminal freezes and the fun ends. I suspect that the problem concerns my home network (it does not occur anywhere else, after moving the computer to another network, the problem disappears, server logs at work do not show the slightest trace of problems). To make it happier, at the same time I can normally use the internet, display websites, watch a video on youtube, etc. The problem concerns the Wi-Fi connection (checked repeatedly) but the connection via a regular network cable did not improve the situation.

    Now a handful of information about the network: Wireless Gateway modem from UPC with a firewall enabled (disabling it does not solve the problem), MTU size is the highest from the available range 1280-1500 (I guess in bytes, but I'm not sure, the change does not affect problem). Logs from hardware do not contain entries from the period of problems. Configuration data below (unfortunately the device does not allow changes, but maybe something will prompt).

    Something about MTU smells like a problem.
    google openvpn MTU

    BTW: I recommend screen under linux, "man screen", this will allow you to start a session in ssh after logging in again in the place where something broke. for example,

    Thank you for the quick reply. I used the procedure described on the given page. It looks like the problem is gone. I will try tomorrow to do some more tests, if the problem returns I will still ask.
    Regards.
