I have an openvpn setup with one br0 and one tap0 interface. When viewing the interface activity in Firestarter as well as in iptraf, the tap0 shows no activity at all. is this normal? Also, our upload speeds are appalling all the sudden (0.1 Mbps on a 13Mbps network) but our download speeds are fine.
