What's the correct configuration of MTU?



there is no one size fits all answer to that. The standard is 1500; but MTU lowers with levels of encapsulation. (since you need those bytes for the encapsulation overhead).

There's also "Jumbo Frames" though you're not likely to encounter that day to day in a VPS.
