When i connect to my ESP8266 from the same LAN, it works fine.
When i connect to my ESP8266 from a different LAN, it immediately reboots.

The "Client IP block level" is set to "Allow All".
Github Version "mega-20180910"

What could be the case?

Does this also happen when using an older version, like from June? (other core version)

I think it has to do with the circumstance, that I updated the firmware from a very old version.
The other modules don‘t show that issue.
I did a factory reset but no change.
Also the factory reset does not erase the IP settings.
What else could I try?

The standard procedures is to flash a blank bin prior to a fresh flash. Latest release includes three blank files.

Is there a way to achieve a clean install OTA?
I got several modules distributed in difficult to reach locations.

Sorry, currently no. I totally understand your situation and we'll try to think of some way of doing it but I cannot promise anything now.

I plan to add a function to start writing 0xff to every address right after the sketch itself.
This will destroy all settings. However, I have not yet tried it, so not sure if it will be able to succeed to do so.
We might run into all kind of issues like background updates that partially restore the active settings, or watchdog reboots.
So we will have just try to do it and see what happens. But it is a great idea. I addedit to the github issues: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/issues/1764
