I have OpenVPN working like a charm on my 4 Rackspace based cloud servers, Windows 7 desktop and a Virtualbox OpenSUSE VM appliance.
However my Win7 laptop is behaving strangely. Connectivity is fine, however every so often CPU usage spikes which I can usually tell by sudden unexplained fan noise. The Win7 resource monitor shows VPN traffic is extremely high along with high CPU usage by the OpenVPN service. No other programs or services seem to be affected and I can't see any evidence of login activity, illicit traffic or applications using the connection. OpenVPN seems to be in some kind of tight loop.
When I bounce the OpenVPN service all returns to normal and it may or may not happen again for some time.
Any clues where I can start looking for an explanation? All other platforms are working fine and it's only misbehaving on my Win 7 laptop.
