Tor on 0.4.x won’t connect to my StartTunnel VPS (T-Mobile internet provider) unless I run
sudo ip link set wg0 mtu 1280
The problem is when I reboot the server, the MTU goes back to 1420. Some of the things I have tried to make the change permanent:
sudo systemctl edit wg-quick@wg0
setting MTUBytes via /etc/systemd/network/10-wg0.link
setting mtu via /etc/udev/rules.d/10-mtu.rules
Any ideas appreciated.

you could install this toolset and setup a crown job every hour then to reset or even check MTU, problem is you need to re install it after an update but not every reboot. I am using this for automated backups. Below are the intrusctions for entering persistent mode if you dont want to use the tool itself
The guide below is a new draft updating the earlier guide for automating backups. This is more advanced and more complicated because it provides more protection for your password. Feedback is greatly appreciated.
Automating StartOS Backups with SSH and Cron
This guide applies to StartOS 0.4.0. It is fully standalone: it does not
install, require, or reference any third-party administration tool. Every

a root-only passw…
