EmployeeWhile your Edge Client Components are the same, the Edge Client executable versions are 17 releases apart. I see that you're currently running 7.2.2 and the previous version was 7.1.8.
A K article describing the issue was first published back in July of 2022: https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K80231353. The article references a potential workaround here: https://support.umbrella.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037481832-Roaming-Client-and-F5-VPN-Compatibility
I don't see specific information that indicates why your issues are alleviated. Is it possible that you performed updates to the Umbrella client as well? If not, checking the release notes on the intermin Edge Client releases might hold a clue. For examplel, 7.2.2.1 had several updates surrounding DNS: https://techdocs.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/releasenotes/related/relnote-edge-client-7-2-1-1.html
MarvinHi Rob, ok thanks is this Big IP Edge client still used despite the fact that the client only uses web components and not the Big IP Edge client?
In other words are these two packaged dependent on eachother for proper funcioning of the DNS relay proxy?

I do not have an understanding of the APM client architecture at that level. Your best bet would be to open a support ticket. I am glad that your issue is no longer impacting!
