- mmaunder 17y agoHi axod, I retested on OSX and Linux and same result. (I'm running Snow Leopard) I tested secure connection to https://help.ubuntu.com/ https://help.ubuntu.com/ and the data packets have the DF flag on both OS's. I tested insecure to www.ebay.com and the data packets have no DF flag. Make sure you ignore the first few packets that are setting up the connection because those will probably have the DF flag set both ways. Only check the packets further down about halfway through the connection - you can tell the data packets by their size. Mark.
