          @stephenw10 Im not 100% sure which side was which now - but one showed UP and the other DOWN. Traffic didn't flow for either.

          The Decrypt errors were on the client side.

          LMK if you need me to retest.

              @stephenw10 Client Side was 22.05RC with or without DCO. It never worked after the Upgrade.

              Just gives log errors: AEAD Decrypt error: cipher final failed

                Hmm,
                OK and the server was 22.05 with DCO already?

                We did see some errors like that during development when connecting an 22.05 client with DCO enabled to a 22.01 server. The client showed:

                May 5 12:53:36 	openvpn 	66844 	AEAD Decrypt error: cipher final failed
                

                But that was fixed that day. Builds from May 6th did not see that.

                Can you show us how they are/were configured?

                  In my fail case both client and server were on 22.05RC 1919.

                  Reverting JUST THE Client to 22.01 "fixes" it - and is where it is right now, connected.

                    Hmm, curious I have test setups running exactly that here that work as expected and have done for weeks.
                    Are you able to share any additional details of the server/client config?

                      @stephenw10 I will apply the update again over the weekend when I can tolerate some down time and see if I can get any more data. Possibly the update was incomplete and it will just work a second time.?

                        That is possible. We have seen that a few times internally. Always because of internal build testing though. That should never happen against the public pkg repos.
