Dr-Jon HI, I have an OpenVPN server on my desk that connects to 2 client machines over 3G there is a 4G router here and 2 3G routers at the other end. My question is as i'm paying per Gb for the data connections, How much data will the vpn tunnels use. I know the data transfered across the tunnels will be included but if there were no traffic just the tunnels how much data would these use? Thanks
TinCanTech It depends on your configuration .. See --keepalive for instance and use --dev-type tun not --dev-type tap.
Dr-Jon so Im useing dev-type tap and keep-alive. these should not account for more than a few meg a day? or will it be more
TinCanTech Dr-Jon wroteso Im useing dev-type tapIf you want lower background data usage:TinCanTech wroteuse --dev-type tun not --dev-type tap
