Description of Issue

When I use Roon over a Wireguard VPN connection, it occasionally happens that I lose the connection to my ROCK for a few seconds. In the server logs on my ROCK it always says “Warn: [remoting/remotingprotocolv2] stealing a perfectly good connection…hmmm” in those cases. What does that message mean?

The explanation seems to lie in the two log lines before the warn message:
Trace: [remoting/brokerserver] [initconn 192.168.0.202:59992=>192.168.0.115:9332] Connected
Trace: [remoting/brokerserver] [initconn 192.168.0.202:59992=>192.168.0.115:9332] Resumed Session

192.168.0.202 is the IP assigned by WireGuard to my MacBook Air on the network where the ROCK (192.168.0.115) is located.

Here’s an example of the cluster of log entries around the warning:

02/26 09:27:01 Trace: [remoting/brokerserver] [initconn 192.168.0.202:59992=>192.168.0.115:9332] Connected
