[vpn-help] connect-status of Shrew

[Gerd Röthig]

Hello Kevin, hello all,

I just set up my networks in the Policy tab. However, after successfully
establishing the VPN connection, I cannot reach any of the servers in those
networks. The route print command does not show any routes configured for
the networks in question.

Perhaps it has something to do with the networks being private (
10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 and 172.16.0.0/255.240.0.0). However, if I leave the
Policy setting at "Obtain Topology Automatically or Tunnel All" and set the
routes after connection manually, everything works as expected.
If I recall correctly, "Maintain Persistent Security Associations" used to
work as expected in version 2.1.7 of the client, despite of the networks
being private.

Kind regards,
Gerd
