Description

When windows is under Modern Standby, some or actually most device is working, including network device. So windows will have network/firewall working when under Modern Standby.

But at this time, zerotier is lost network connection (or the service is suspend? I haven't check powercfg.)

So is there any way to keep zerotier online when windows is under Modern Standby?

OS: win11 10.0.22631.2715
Ver.: 1.12.2

Research direction

Start by reproducing the disconnect on Windows 11 10.0.22631.2715 with ZeroTier 1.12.2 while the system enters Modern Standby. Check the service and power behavior with powercfg, then trace the relevant Windows service or networking entry point; done means ZeroTier remains online through Modern Standby.
