[strongSwan] 24/7/365 tunnel?

[Eric Germann]

Usually if it "takes down the tunnel" it's due to no traffic. Keep interesting traffic going and it will stay up.

If you have the ability to set "auto = route" it will reestablish the tunnel as needed. We run several hundred tunnels this way in AWS without issue.
