You are tuning this at the wrong place..

the only knob you can use here on the proxy server is the MSS of the
route towards the clients. Don't change the MTU of any interfaces unless
you have a dedicated interface for traffic towards the clients, separate
from the GRE and Internet traffic.

Yes. traffic is triangulated. Only client->proxy traffic is going via
the GRE tunnel, return traffic to the clients is sent directly.

You can play with routing to route the client addresses via the GRE
tunnel if you think this is the problem, but I don't think it is..
