VAC diagnostics: an attempt to connect is not a connection

Browse Source 
Left 4 Dead 2 logs "Connecting to", retries, and refuses a VAC server with
a "Connection Blocked: Please remove plug-ins" dialog that never reaches
the console. Counting the attempt as reaching a server would have reported
an insecure game as connected. Only "Connected to" counts now; an attempt
alone is reported as not connected, naming the dialog to look for.
