High data usage on openvpn

Alfredd

Hi, I'm wondering It's normal to have a high data usage for the process openvpn.exe, mine is 159gb and no other process comes close to it.

I haven't been using anything excessive that would tank data usage.

What might be the cause?

Hi @Alfredd

Thank you for reaching out to F-Secure Community.

I would like to suggest you some troubleshooting steps to isolate the issue. Before that, just want to check with you if you have performed any troubleshooting steps such as reboot and does the issue persist after reboot? Or have you try to reinstall the F-Secure Freedome VPN?

Alternatively, you may try this steps below and verify whether the issue still persists or not:

I happened to me too and it was the windows update that caused it.
