Description

I am writing to report an issue with
the ArduinoOTA library when using it over a VPN connection.
Specifically, the OTA update process tends to fail approximately 90% of
the time when initiated through a VPN connection.

To address this problem, I made a modification in the ArduinoOTA.cpp
file. I increased the OTA timeout value from 1000 to 2000 milliseconds
by applying the following patch:

-, _ota_timeout(1000)
+, _ota_timeout(2000)

This change has resulted in a significant improvement in the OTA
functionality, even when used over a VPN connection. The increased
timeout appears to have provided the necessary buffer to ensure
successful updates under these conditions.

Best regards,

Michael Süß
