Kerlink iStation restart loop, STATE is not set error

Hi,
I’ve set up mqtt forwarder, but it seems to go into restart loop:

chirpstack mqtt forwarder configuration, where certs and key are the ones generated in the chirpstack gateway web ui. When using those certificates from the mosquitto_sub I can connect to the mosquitto of the chirpstack.

I’m not sure if the wsl:// prefix is understood by the MQTT library. Are you trying to connect using Websockets or MQTT?

Sorry, it was a typo. I try to use ssl, and connect using MQTT.
Now I got it to this stage, log from the Kerlink iStation:

Do the logs seem okay? Funny thing is that it takes almost 5-10 minutes for the gateway to appear online in the Chirpstack UI.
