The distro I work on (LibreELEC) is bundling this patch to revert the change: 

https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/commit/998f2bcfd5849e3eecda6f753ff5bab68a847aea

This unfortunately means we’re unable to bump ConnMan until things are resolved/adapted upstream.

Grant, did you ever get access to the WireGuard server that I shared working?
