Why: Setup DTLS failed; using SSL instead

Thanks a lot Daniel! This seems to have resolved the issue. There is a
remaining tangential issue, which you might be able to help with. So
here I go. Unfortunately Egypt is performing DPI and seems to be
killing the DTLS stream, so I cannot connect over DTLS even though I'm
using v7.08 (from brew on OSX). The client emits the error message:
DTLS handshake failed: Resource temporarily unavailable, try again.

and on the server side "# tcpdump -ni eth0 udp and port 443" is
showing zero packets reaching the server! Unfortunately it seems the
DPI is effective here. My question is, is there any extra
encryption/obfuscation that can be done on the DTLS stream? Would
using newer ciphers like TLS_1.3 perhaps help? I know it's a long
shot, but worth trying. Thanks again!

Since you're connecting with openconnect v7.06, that explains the problem. (It's not offering the PSK-NEGOTIATE cipher which newer openconnect versions send to trigger the new-style DTLS negotiation.)
