VPN usage and processor utilization

[Denna]

1) Is there a way to monitor the CPU load imposed by VPN usage ?

2) When using two OpenVPN clients, is splitting affinity the default or was this a special build ?

1. "top" or "hotp" (htop might need to install) works great.

2. Merlin's default. I believe they are hard coded round robin to cores - 1,0,1,0,1 etc... (Corrected)

Correct, except I start with core 1, since core 0 is already used by general router traffic.
