I found that MacOS client uses CPU all time and it looks like it makes something in background. Even if it isn’t connected.
But what?
It influence to the battery and temperature of the macbook
Version of the client 8.4.2
I heard that VPN clients can mine crypto. Maybe it works on that?!
Hey, as the VPN requires higher usage CPU, Disk and Network the battery usage can be slightly high could you please confirm which MacOS are you currently using? And if you could connect with us on LiveChat so we can sort this out for you!
Yes, I just noticed the same and that’s not normal. I also have ZenMate VPN and it dosen’t consume CPU when VPN connections is not active. PureVPN however consumes noticiable amount of CPU when VPN connection is not active by no visible reason. I have only icon in status bar, app in doc is closed (setting in preferences) so I dunno why it consumes CPU, PureVPN also shown in “Using significant energy” list when battery icon clicked.
MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)
MacOS Monterey 12.3
Processor 2,3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9
