Ive used the Softether VPN client for a while now on multiple computers. Installed it a few weeks ago on my main PC. I noticed that sometimes the client would use up to 15 mbps on my internet connection without it being active. This cased my internet to be slow and really sucked. I tried killing the process in the task manager but it kept coming back every few seconds. this happened once or twice and then stopped. I thought nothing of it, and a few days later i notice that i am banned from 4chan,

================
im not sure why i was banned, my IP is not a VPN exit node. im not sure what else to say. "
Obviously i am not a VPN exit node, this confused the hell out of me. I didn't even think about it at the time. Lucky for me , the good people at 4chan unbanned me.
A few days later I'm having internet problems again, and by this time i had forgotten about the last tim this happened and just shut off my PC.

Re: SoftEther Suspicious Activity?
Is this happening on one machine only? Maybe your PC is a part of some botnet. Install wireshark and record the network activity when you are inactive

Did you use VPN Gate plug-in?
