Thanks Guus

I have one more question.

- We see several log messages that we dont currently understand - Can you
comment on what they mean and if they are concerning? I've obfuscated
IP's
and node names so please ignore those. Our tinc daemon command is: tincd -n
<vpn name>

-- Received short packet
-- Got REQ_KEY from node003 while we already started a SPTPS session!
-- Invalid packet seqno: 7951 != 1 from node003 (22.22.22.22 port 655)
-- Failed to verify SIG record from node003 (22.22.22.22 port 655)
-- message repeated 3 times: [ Received short packet]
-- Metadata socket read error for node004 (33.33.33.33 port 655):
Connection reset by peer
-- Failed to decrypt and verify packet from node005 (44.44.44.44 port 655)
