Too much traffic between openvpn server and client

WhiteAngel

Hi,

I've made a basic setup on Ubuntu 16.x of OpenVPN server and connected Windows client to it.
I don't need my traffic to be routed via OpenVPN server so all these features are disabled.
What I need is a secure access to sub-networks and shares.
All access things work absolutely fine but I'm having high traffic between client and server constantly even in IDLE state (no file transfers or communication with subnetwork is done and only 1 shared folder is mounted).
When I say high traffic, it's about: 50-150KB/sec for inbound and outbound.

Is this a normal traffic for VPN connection? I can't see where it comes from.

Thank you.

Are you using --dev-type tap ?

I'm using tunneling.

But looks like I've found the issue. It was the share that has been constantly pinged by docker.
Unmounting share solved the issue.
Thank you for help!
