I was wondering if it has been reported or if anyone is aware that in
many cases the ShrewSoft IKE Daemon service either crashes or is

standby when the VPN tunnel is connected.
I am sure it has been reported multiple times.
Here is a thread I opened a few days ago, for this issue:

I hope sometime they fix it. Standby should not cause IKE Services to hang.
I standby my machine every night with the VPN connected. When I wake
the machine the next day, Shrew auto-reconnects without an issue.
I'm doing this on a wired PC however, so maybe wireless devices are
different - and it may also be adapter specific. Mine is a Realtek.
Another thing to consider is the power management settings. Mine
machine is set to never sleep (only manually) but I do have my adapter
power settings set to enable "Allow the computer to turn off this device
to save power," but I know a lot of people disable this setting. Maybe
Shrew looks for a power management signal and uses that as the trigger
to tear down the tunnel and quiesce itself.
