"Outgoing TUN queue full" after upgrading from Linux Stretch to Buster on Raspberry Pi

Post by DerEchteMatze » Wed Nov 24, 2021 11:19 pm

Hi,
after updating my Raspberry Pi installations from stretch to buster i´m unable to establish my vpn tunnel. Before the tunnel was established without problems.
On the client it looks like ok at first

Code: Select all

Wed Nov 24 23:12:16 2021 us=71085 Initialization Sequence Completed
WrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrWrW
In this situation i can´t ping the opposite tunnel-device. And after a minute it disconnects

Code: Select all

Wed Nov 24 23:13:15 2021 us=651682 [server] Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting
Wed Nov 24 23:13:15 2021 us=653613 TCP/UDP: Closing socket
Wed Nov 24 23:13:15 2021 us=654571 SIGUSR1[soft,ping-restart] received, process restarting
On the serverside i see the following error

Code: Select all

RWed Nov 24 23:13:13 2021 us=352624 client1/192.168.101.105:42100 MULTI: Outgoing TUN queue full, dropped packet len=42
RWed Nov 24 23:13:14 2021 us=409811 client1/192.168.101.105:42100 MULTI: Outgoing TUN queue full, dropped packet len=42
RWed Nov 24 23:13:15 2021 us=446807 client1/192.168.101.105:42100 MULTI: Outgoing TUN queue full, dropped packet len=42
Nothing is changed after the upgrade. Is there any option to extend the "TUN queue"?

Thanks for your help!

Regards

Did you use https://pivpn.io/ to install your VPN ?

Hi,
no. I installed by hand.

But in the meantime i have found the problem.

My up-Script inside openvpn was

Code: Select all

brctl addif br0 tap0
That worked for linux jessie and stretch. But when you move to buster you need to change it to

Code: Select all

brctl addif br0 $1
ifconfig $1 up
With this modification the message dissapers and the tunnel is working again.
