It's the one I posted about on June 21:

CitiFX Pro is a foreign currency trading platform recently bought
by CitiBank:

At the point of failure it seems to be connecting to its data server
in Denmark.  At that point it's already past the login that checks my
name and password, so it's a different kind of login.

Can you offer a guess why this app might be using RAS instead of
whatever most similar apps use these days?
