Client will not join server

I recently installed the latest urbackup client on a new Ubunutu 22.04 host that has access to an existing urbackup server via a p2p VPN that carries layer-3 traffic so the normal mechanism of the client and server finding each other via broadcast traffic isn’t going to happen.

On the server side, I manually added a new client and provided the client IP address as a hint. After a while, I checked back and the server has not added the client.

When I look into the logs on the client side, I see the following entries over and over:

Sep 01 19:15:27 monolith urbackupclientbackend[89827]: ERROR: Client requires encryption which server does not offer
Sep 01 19:15:37 monolith urbackupclientbackend[89827]: ERROR: Client requires encryption which server does not offer
Sep 01 19:15:47 monolith urbackupclientbackend[89827]: ERROR: Client requires encryption which server does not offer
Sep 01 19:15:57 monolith urbackupclientbackend[89827]: ERROR: Client requires encryption which server does not offer
Sep 01 19:16:07 monolith urbackupclientbackend[89827]: ERROR: Client requires encryption which server does not offer
Sep 01 19:16:17 monolith urbackupclientbackend[89827]: ERROR: Client requires encryption which server does not offer
Sep 01 19:16:27 monolith urbackupclientbackend[89827]: ERROR: Client requires encryption which server does not offer
Sep 01 19:16:37 monolith urbackupclientbackend[89827]: ERROR: Client requires encryption which server does not offer
Sep 01 19:16:47 monolith urbackupclientbackend[89827]: ERROR: Client requires encryption which server does not offer
Sep 01 19:16:57 monolith urbackupclientbackend[89827]: ERROR: Client requires encryption which server does not offer

So it certainly looks like the server is reaching out to the client and the client appears to be rejecting it? How do I fix this?

and as I was typing my message out it appears that the server finally adopted the client…
