SOLVED openvpn.exe

[JackStack]

In my data usage list under settings I have openvpn.exe which is using 2.26GB.
Is this part of the windows setup
Should it be showing that its using that amount of data, seems like a lot
I can't locate the exe file, doesn't show in task manager, Had no luck in the program file or program files (86*)
Could this be malware problem
Cheers
Jack

Are you using a VPN? A lot of VPN's use OpenVPN. I use Proton VPN and my data usage is openvpn.exe - 219.77 GB.

Proton free version

That's what I use. Proton uses OpenVPN for encryption. It's not malware. That's normal.
