Probably you're encoutering the Path MTU Discovery problem. There are
serveral solutions to this problem.

1. Lower the MTU of the network interface of your internal host.

2. Use the clamp-mss-to-pmtu feature of iptables:
   # iptables -I FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN -j TCPMSS \
        --clamp-mss-to-pmtu


Thank you. I used this rule to solved the problem.

You are welcome. Actually, the three methods are not really solutions; they are workarounds. The real solution is to fix the broken firewalls on the Internet, which incorrectly block vital ICMP traffic.
