It is a current ongoing issue, see below. I've found that I had good luck restarting my server in the a.m. and getting VAC on the 1st try. Any time after 5PM for me is a coin toss.

There is a bug on startup that can cause a server to go insecure that we are working on a fix for (if the server fails to connect to the VAC2 backend on its first attempt then the server is wrongly forced into insecure mode even if it can later connect). _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
