high cpu load when network is absent
Posted: Thu Aug 17, 2023 12:57 pm
Hello,
I have a remote physical system that is connected to my openvpn-based "intranet". I'm using quotes here because it is a home-setup and not production-grade.
I don't have particular daily issues and overall i'm very satisfied with my experience so far.
There is a corner case which is a bit concerning though: if network goes down on the remote router, the remote client (running the vpn client) shows high cpu usage and thus high cpu temperature. This is a bit worrying to me as this is a physical host which is not in a refrigerated datacenter (a remote relative's house).
The underlying operating system is Rocky Linux 9.2, openvpn version is 2.5.9-1.el9 (from epel) and my configuration is pretty simple:
I've been looking around and what I think i could use is one of the follwing:
Can somebody provide me with some guidance and advice?
Thanks,
