Issue using tinc-vpn on Windows Server 1709 with Docker Overlay Network

[Marc Hoersken]

Hello everyone,

I am running into the following error messages everytime I try to use a
docker overlay network on top of tinc-vpn:

Error getting read result from Windows tap device

It seems like this errors appear as soon as a VMSwitch is assigned or
removed from the TAP device.

Does anyone have any experience with running a docker overlay network
(using a Windows VMSwitch) on top of a tinc-vpn device.

I am using the following versions on top of tap-windows-9.21.2.exe:
