Re: [44net] Google indexing - 44net

11 May 2019

Thanks everyone for the MTU discussion/ suggestions on the google issues. I’ll try
adjusting the MTU. 
The https issue only just started. I had a letsencrypt certificate and auto-renew screwed
up and I haven’t had a chance to fix it. That wasn’t a problem when I started this google
thread, so won’t be the main issue with google.

   However,
I'm not convinced that this is the problem as the site works OK
 for me over internet.  Why wouldn't it work for Google then?  
 We have to speculate somewhat..I don't know what the crawler uses for
 TCP stack. I know each OS is different in the ways it deals with MTU
 and blackholes.
 I did a wireshark capture on my Windows desktop and show a lot of
 black/red. I lowered my MTU by 40 and re-tried and there was lots of
 green.
 The TCP MSS coming from the web server was already lowered by 20. I
 don't know what it looks like on the far end. I'm also speculating
 that it's not getting ICMP or seeing a lower MSS for me.

 Another reason I saw red -- a few links point to HTTPS and it is not
 enabled.  Fix that, and set a lower MTU on the host, and we'll at
 least fix *some* problem. Maybe not the Googling indexing one. :)
