[vpn-help] 2.2.2-release stopped working between reboots

Tue Feb 25 04:04:35 CST 2014

Recently had a similar problem which showed similar results.

Take a look in  Device Manager -> Network adapters -> Shrew Soft Virtual 
Adapter and see if Windows has tagged it as "unsigned" if so the driver 
was never loaded.

To prove it,  press F8 during boot-up and select the option which 
ignores unsigned drivers.
