makedir Hello, I've asked this now on several places and no one ever answered or could lead to a suggestion. I just noticed this recently and I cant find anything to this topic on google too, so I hope someone can help me with this on here. I have a OpenVPN client running on an OpenWRT router, and it seems, that the OpenVPN connection creates a linear upload traffic whenever there is a download. The more download, the more upload, but it's basically linear. For example if I have a steady 4mbit/s download (stream of single file download, no web browsing), I have a steady ~300kbit/s upload traffic to the OpenVPN server. Is this normal? Whats causing this "huge" upload traffic to the OpenVPN server? Is it some kind of error correction overhead, or... is there a way of reducing the upload traffic? Ive monitored the traffic on the router with iftop, and the upload is just to the OpenVPN server itself, not beyond any destination.

Traffic For example: Your server is at home while your client is at work .. ? And so your server becomes your internet presence (IP Address) for your client .. By the way .. it helps a lot if you post your VPN server and client configurations.
