I keep periodically losing connection to the gateway (Ignition standard 8.3.0-beta4) when working in Designer. Seeing several UascClientMessageHandler & MulticastScheduler errors in the log. I’m working remotely and connecting to the gateway through a VPN. Could anyone confirm that it’s most likely a network issue? I also have a lot of clock drift warnings. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/d/6d060c296c5e7ee85a44f616ba2d56a0fb71b4b6.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/b/8/b8c38c5da56d95b8b625264650d2361779a74158.png) [Ignition-DESKTOP-AAT48L4\_Ignition\_logs\_20250911-0857.zip](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/uploads/short-url/7TZP7TWRgBO7HiYBTFJhZENEfti.zip) (9.3 MB) ---

Multicast is unrelated (it's only used for launcher auto-discovery of gateways on the network, not used for actual client/designer connections) `UascClientMessageHandler` is also not connected, the `Ua` there is for OPC UA. That said, "a connection was aborted by software in your host machine" seems... suspicious. In your full logs there _are_ some client/designer related errors - new to 8.3, there's now a persistent websocket connection between the client/designer and the gateway, and there are (some) errors in that channel with the same "aborted by software in your host machine": ```python 2025-09-11 07:14:09:040 webserver-67 Unable to send pong org.eclipse.jetty.io.EofException: null at
