Strange connection problem

[ltzhk65]

Hi,

I'm getting these intermittent errors while connecting. AirVPN tunnel is in use. After restarting the application, the connect will succeed instantly, the same tunnel connection and everything else unchanged. This workaround appears very reliable.

Once connected everything appears to run smoothly, so it's more of an inconvenience, still I decided to document it.

From the vebose log:
