Hey guys,
After a random interval (hours) our wifi clients gets disconnected after this log entry:
```
May 24 09:28:15 gra1-radius-01 : (205) Login incorrect (eap_ttls: TLS Alert write:fatal:bad record mac): [jolt] (from client Flattr port 85 cli 784f434d22ba)
May 24 09:28:15 gra1-radius-01 : (205) eap_ttls: ERROR: TLS Alert write:fatal:bad record mac
```
This is on Alpine 3.9 with freeradius-eap-3.0.17-r5, and openssl-1.1.1b-r1. This is my first time setting this up, so bear with me. I'm running this together with an Asus router with EAP-TTLS and having mainly macbooks in this office.
I have tried to search for others with this issue, but can't find much that seems related, I have set `tls_max_version = "1.2"` (to not trigger any tls1.3 bugs) but the issue still occurs.
## Output of ``[radiusd|freeradius] -fxx -l stdout`` if using eg RADIUS with TLS)
