[Openvpn-users] Quite a few "Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: bad packet ID (may be a replay)" warnings

[Ralf H. <Ral...@ch...>]

Today I investigated messages like these:

2020-06-15 16:36:40 openvpn-int ovpn-server-udp 46.183.103.17:21378 Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: bad packet ID (may be a replay): [ #2 / time = (1592231796) Mon Jun 15 16:36:36 2020 ] -- see the man page entry for --no-replay and --replay-window for more info or silence this warning with --mute-replay-warnings

In the end I wanted to add "mute-replay-warnings" to our config, since
most of these messages come from our internal WiFi network.

I then looked at my config and found that "mute-replay-warnings" was
already in effect... Using 2.4.9-bionic0 from Ubuntu. And yes, the
process had been starded after the config change was made.

Could it be that this option is not working?
