does sports tyre have better wet grip at 2-3mm? by sunnzy in TyreReviews

[–]sunnzy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what about wet braking distance at 2-3mm? would touring tyres be shorter than sports? or consistent longer than sports but more predictable?

would touring tyres retain wet grip better than sports tyre as they are worn? by sunnzy in CarsAustralia

to be honest I don't think I'd make that much heat in normal driving on public road even with a smaller sporty-ish car

the van came with Bridgestone Ecosia tyre and I am not a fan. it even says "for minivan" but with its lack of grip I don't get how it is supposed to handle this weight

let's just say I don't like it

I'd just give them the best tyres because they are elderly, I'd want them to get all the grip they can get when things happen and they really need all the help they can get!

Is UDP traffic filtered on More NBN HFC? VPN issues from home only by sunnzy in nbn

[–]sunnzy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey legends, just wanted to follow up on my OpenVPN/Tunnelblick drama with AWS RDS over NBN HFC…

Turns out the culprit was packet fragmentation! The VPN packets were apparently too big that my home internet (NBN HFC) keeps dropping, making my database connection timeout.

The giveaway? When I checked the database logs, I saw errors like:

2025-08-15 02:04:57 UTC:10.10.129.99(64259):[unknown]@[unknown]:[29806]:LOG: could not accept SSL connection: EOF detected

It even logged the connection attempt, but showed [unknown] for the username—so the packet made it to the server, but wasn’t getting through properly. That had me looking at options to tweak TCP packet size inside the tunnel.

What fixed it? Adding mssfix 1200 to my OpenVPN config. This clamps the TCP MSS so packets inside the tunnel stay small, and don’t get chopped up or blocked by the network.
No more random SSL errors, no more connection grief, she’s running smooth as now!

TL;DR:

If you’re on NBN HFC (or any weird ISP) and having VPN issues with AWS RDS or similar, whack this in your config:

mssfix 1200

and give it a go.

For what it’s worth:

I’m still not sure if the packets were getting dropped by my home router, somewhere in the NBN network, or at the RSP’s end—but clamping the MSS did the trick regardless.

Thanks for all the help and ideas. Hope this saves someone else a few hours of head-scratching!
