Hello All I am new to OpenVPN. I just installed it on Windows 10 and connected (via export of client.ovpn) to my Asus RT-N66U. client.ovpn: client dev tun proto udp remote xx.xx.xx.xx 1194 float comp-lzo adaptive keepalive 15 60 auth-user-pass ns-cert-type server ... Than I watched the traffic of my TAP device in "system control -> network connections" and saw 2GB upload in abouts 5min. In case windows hijaked my VPN it should not route that much traffic to TAP without me requesting it. Has anyone an explanation for that? Regards AutomationGuy

Heavy traffic on TAP device

Hello All

I am new to OpenVPN. I just installed it on Windows 10 and connected (via export of client.ovpn) to my Asus RT-N66U.
client.ovpn:

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote xx.xx.xx.xx 1194
float
comp-lzo adaptive
keepalive 15 60
auth-user-pass
ns-cert-type server
<ca>
...

Than I watched the traffic of my TAP device in "system control -> network connections" and saw 2GB upload in abouts 5min.
In case windows hijaked my VPN it should not route that much traffic to TAP without me requesting it.

Has anyone an explanation for that?
