Frequents disconnects and problems reconnecting to relays in the recent days

Recently, I’ve been experiencing frequent disconnects and problems reconnecting to relays at least on some of my devices. I’m wondering whether something is up in general or whether the issue is related to my network.

All connectiontivity-related settings are at default, the GUI reports Listeners at 3/3, Discovery at 4/5 (with IPv6 not working but this is normal).

Without enabling debug logs, I can only see these lines in the normal log file:

In one word, the connections seem very unstable. Transfers often stall and are usually slower than they used to be.

Has anyone got any ideas? :sweat:

Maybe the relay has connection issues?

Could very well be, although that was just a random relay selected automatically by Syncthing from the pool :confused:. For some time, I’ve been contemplating running my own relay at home, and then point all devices to use it first, however this seems quite problematic without a static IP.
