Hi all,

We're seeing some connection-resets to one of our clients since this
morning that we do not quite understand.
The client, which is behind a NAT, connected just fine until it went
down this morning around 04:30.

It came back up around 06:00, at which time establishing a VPN
connection no longer works. Instead, we're seeing this repeat itself
indefinitely on verbosity level 5:

Connecting to the server with any other client works, it seems to be
only that one client that does not connect.

Server and client do seem to be communicating, yet, the server resets
the connection. Or are we misinterpreting the ACKs we're seeing?

We'd be grateful for any help or idea on what might be the cause of
this. Unfortunately, we don't have physical access to the client, so we
cannot, at least not at the current point in time, hard-reset the client
device.

Best regards,
David Raison
