</span>Usually incorrect MTU gives you this effect. Use
ping with MTU size set to test and find what works.<br>

<div>I think its value: it's 1272, which amazes me. <br>

You will probably also break it with any large text dump
eg cat /var/log/syslog will also do it<br>

<div>Yes "cat /var/log/syslog" also broke my console.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Why would my console break because of inadequate MTU
and other PC on the same location, seem unaffected ?<br>
</div>
<div>Because, they most probably mostly use SMTP and HTTP ?<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Is possible to simulate a given MTU on a LAN to
reproduce such freezes ?<br>
</div>
<div>(the remote location is at the other side of the
country and I would like to prepare things as much as
possible).<br>

I think you need to go through a router or some device that can
constrain the MTU. But live changing your server MTU should be
straight forward as openvpn should try and reconnect, and you can
change the server back. I haven't lost connectivity before with this<br>
<br>
Also the session is probably timed out rather than gone, in 10-15
mins maybe less it will come back (or does for me) <br>
