Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/4907

We need to set MTU for our netbird clients to 1400.

We can do it in desktop version of Netbird under Settings -> Advanced settings -> Connection -> MTU .

The problem is for mobile versions (Android and iOS) as there are no MTU options there. Can you add it?

no idea on the mobile, but I'm very curious as to why you need the MTu setting?

We use kubernetes cluster on Hetzner dedicated servers with vswitch and it requires MTU of 1400. More details https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/dedicated-server/network/vswitch/

Standard MTU causes unstable connection.

We checked and MTU config option is only available in desktop versions of Netbird and not available in mobile versions.
