This pull request updates the OpenVPN documentation to clarify the default MTU and MSS values, and provides improved instructions for adjusting these settings to address packet fragmentation issues. The changes make it clearer how to configure these options via both the UI and command line for both Road Warrior and tunnel configurations.

Documentation improvements for MTU and MSS configuration:

  • Clearly state the default values for tun_mtu (1500) and mssfix (1450) for both OpenVPN Road Warrior servers and tunnels.
  • Update instructions to show that MTU and MSS can be adjusted via the UI under Advanced options, or via the command line using uci commands.
  • Update example command line snippets to include both tun_mtu and mssfix, and clarify that these values may need to be tuned for different environments.
