the basic way is to use ping with the don't fragment bit set to ping with various packet size until you find the correct value:

On a Mac OS system use

ping -D -s <packetsize> <pingable IP accross the tunnel>

On Windows

ping -f -l <packetsize> <pingable IP accross the tunnel>

On linux, the Don't Fragment bit is set by default:

ping -s <packetsize> <pingable IP accross the tunnel>

Once you find the maximum value that respond, add 28 for the ICMP (8) and IP (20) headers and you have your MTU.
