OpenVPN connects but user cannot access mapped drives

I am migrating Road Warrior clients to the latest community client v.2.6.10. I am having a problem with one (not all) of the users migrated. The one user is able to connect but cannot browse mapped drives in Windows Explorer. Windows Explorer becomes “not responding” and has to be shut down. The last item on the client log.

openvpn write udp no buffer space available (WSAENOBUFS) code=10055"

On the server side, I’m seeing these errors logged, but nothing related to the user in question.

I rolled back the one user to the OpenVPN client he was running, but that has not fixed the user’s problem. Am I missing something?

Turned out the user’s ISP was T-Mobile 5G. There were IPv6 and MTU issues. Resolutions were to make these changes to the user’s .ovpn config file.

  • Use a FQDN in the “remote FQDN 1194” line

  • Replace tun-mtu and mssfix lines with “mtu-test”
