Thanks for the listing. To me it looks like #174 and #181 might solve my
issue.

That would be great and would allow me to test the fixes and give
feedback regarding the compatibility of tinc-vpn with Docker and Hyper-V
VM switches.

Before upgrading to TAP 9.21.2 I actually tried the old one that is
bundled with tinc-vpn. Unfortunately that caused more errors on Windows
Server 1709 and to me it therefore looks like the NDIS6 branch might be
more stable on that Windows version. But once a new tinc-vpn pre-release
is out, I will try it with both TAP driver versions.
