This bug is very pesky. VPN connection works just fine and subsequent web access fails. It took me a couple of hours to trace it back to the kernel, after investigating the obvious suspects (routers, network connections etc.) I am hoping the fix gets into 4.4-rc2 as well as 4.3.1 http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/544307/ I tested the fix on 4.3 and 4.4-rc1 on my VPN setup thanks, -- Shuah -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
