vpnclient Mac OS 100% CPU

Post by Manhattan » Wed Apr 29, 2015 10:41 pm

vpnclient after connecting to server eats 100% CPU, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions (latest available from the website). I run it via sudo. Any advice how to fix? Thanks.

It's known problem.
Please try to use L2TP or OpenVPN.

I can't, I need to hide VPN usage, so I use SoftEther protocol. While I found a workaround by running 'cpulimit' application to limit 'vpnclient' process only 30% CPU — it works. But, anyway, I hope it will be fixed any time soon, because SoftEther is a good product. Also, it will be nice to get integration into Viscosity app. I'll probably write its authors about it.
