OpenVPN replay warning with NordVPN

[Stardust]

Well I get this log when using NordVPN on my AX86U - what can I do?

Jul 24 20:26:37 ovpn-client1[2974]: AEAD Decrypt error: bad packet ID (may be a replay): [ #732291 ] -- see the man page entry for --no-replay and --replay-window for more info or silence this warning with --mute-replay-warnings

You might see this from an attempted MITM (Man in the Middle) attack. But it's NOT as if I haven't seen these on an occasion myself. I don't worry about it unless they become pervasive. After all, it might simply be a corrupted packet that's being misinterpreted as a replay attack. I'd need to see a LOT more of these to have concerns. If you do, I'd try switching to TCP (I assume you're using UDP) and see if it helps.

Thank you

My guess is now that it might a package problem like you write
