turf I have used PIA for a couple of years, but can no longer use it on a regular basis since OpenVPN is uploading so much data it exceeds the 150GB combined monthly limit from my ISP. Today, I used uTorrent and downloaded approx 12GB of files with uploads limited to 12kbs. I don't keep any files in my uTorrent directory so it is only uploading the files I am downloading.. uTorrent received 11.7GB of data and uploaded 722MB of data during this time. During this same time, OpenVPN uploaded about 5GB of data (and downloaded about 12 to match uTorrent). I chatted with PIA asking what's up with this, and they said it was not a problem - it was only OpenVPN doing pings and searching for servers. To me it's a problem if it is uploading more than 1GB per hour. Is there a fix for this problem? Someone said to use the PIA client instead of OpenVPN when using PIA, but there does not appear to be a way to do this any longer.
dnaiel Hi Guys, This is not a single case of such behavior - I have the same issue. Today it uploaded 8GB of data. I use OpenVPN for connecting to company servers - there are pretty much no significant traffic at all. What's going on?
