VPN usage

I was logged into VPN for 5 minutes and it used my whole 200mb allowance. That has never happened before. It is usually over an hour until I get close. I was just paying bills on my bank site as I usually do when using VPN. 5 minutes and it kicked me out since I used 200mb.

191mb download + 9mb upload

What happened? This is garbage if 200mbs go in 5 minutes.

Hello,

I think a good place to start would be to check if any of the auto-connect settings are enabled, because if they are, it's possible that the VPN connects without you knowing, and consumes your daily traffic quota.

If this is not the case, then something else consumed the mb while you accessed that site, or something was running in the background maybe..

If you ask me, 200mb is not much anyway, but it's nice to have. To benefit from unlimited traffic and the ability to select the desired server, I recommend upgrading to Premium VPN.
