Hello, when setting up my VPN I used this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-setup-your-own-vpn-with-pptp
It works but when I connect to it, it is very slow and only a few websites load. I have gone and viewed the logs file for errors and it says: PPP: compressor dropped pkt
I’ve tried the same thing on another droplet but I get the same problem. Also, I have tried searching Google but the only results I get aren’t for Ubuntu.
If anyone has any advice I’d appreciate it and follow through. For the time being, I am using openvpn connect.

Hey guys, I’ve fixed the problem, You’ve gotta do:
<br>
<br>Below is my workaround script, place it into file ‘/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/mppefixmtu’ and ensure that it is executable (‘chmod +x mppefixmtu’):
<br>
<br>#!/bin/sh
<br>CURRENT_MTU=“ifconfig $1 | grep -Po '(?<=MTU:)([0-9]+)'”
<br>FIXED_MTU=“expr $CURRENT_MTU + 4”
<br>ifconfig $1 mtu $FIXED_MTU
<br>echo “Increased MTU for $1 to $FIXED_MTU (from $CURRENT_MTU) to fix MPPE Microsoft Point-to-Point bug #330973”
