Windows not reconnecting after Standby

You should try using the older TAP-Win32 drivers that are bundled with tinc
(i.e. 9.0.0.9). Using the newer, NDIS6 drivers (>= 9.0.0.21) is not
recommended; according to some testing I did in the past it seems to result
in poor tinc performance (for reasons I wasn't quite able to determine). I
am using tinc 1.1 with 9.0.0.9 on Windows 10 and it behaves correctly when
returning from standby.
