How to troubleshoot Client disconnects
XTM525 running 12.1.3. Clients running Mobile VPN SSL client 12.5.3.
Occasionally I get reports from my remote VPN users that they have been disconnected from the VPN. When the VPN disconnects the VPN client does not close. They just sign back in to the VPN client. I have multiple other users on the VPN at this same time and no reported issues from them.
The VPN Client logs on macOS do not appear to have real timestamps so its hard to troubleshoot and correlate disconnects with log messages.
I have one client that I can see the below in their client logs but not sure what it means. Is this on the firewall side or the client side?

Why is this resetting?

Same here. After a Fireware Update the MacOs Client of Watchguard Mobile VPN SSL 12.5.3 refused to work. Updated Client to latest - no improvement.

But the OpenVPN Client (https://openvpn.net/) works perfectly with the same credentials!

If you haven't done so, I'd suggest trying the 12.6.3 client for MacOS. It'll work even with the older firewall you have.
