OpenWRT claims that the "MSS Clamping" Feature (option mtu_fix in the /etc/config/firewall file)
OpenWRT claims that the "MSS (Maximum Segment Size) Clamping" Feature (''option mtu_fix '1'<nowiki/>'' in the /etc/config/firewall file) takes care of this (it even gets added automatically when configuring a PPPoE WAN Interface), but in reality it is safer to manually configure it: ''option mtu 'WhatEverValue''' (1492 in the case of PPPoE) in the /etc/config/network file.
