Tor not connecting Hydra.Sdk.Windows.Service.exe high cpu usage
Answers

Hello @Isobel,
Are you using Mozilla Firefox?
While the VPN is active and using Mozilla Firefox, our engineers have received several slowdown reports. In the task manager, they have noticed that the processor is used at 100% by Firefox.
There is no problem while using the VPN with other browsers. There is no problem while VPN is off.
The development teams are currently investigating this behavior.

@SamuelMoore try to reinstall the VPN. I've learned that this helps in some cases. Also, if you are using Mozilla, I would advise a different browser, for now.

"There is no problem while using the VPN with other browsers. There is no problem while VPN is off." with due respect Alexandru_BD, i am telling you Hydra.Sdk.Windows.Service.exe DOES block other browsers like Tor,AND there are problems with firefox like high cpu use when vpn is off. The problems cease when you end task Hydra.Sdk.Windows.Service.exe. The vpn seems to work after ending this task,as does Tor browser and firefox. No one answered my question though, which was ...does the Hydra.Sdk.Windows.Service.exe need to be running for the vpn and security suite to do it's job?
Many thanks for your help so far.

Hi @Isobel,
I confirm, Hydra.Sdk.Windows.Service.exe is required for the Bitdefender VPN to function. So far, during tests we couldn't reproduce the issue for other browsers as well, but I suspect this might have something to do with the latest update. I would recommend contacting the Technical Support Teams, as more information might be required to troubleshoot this. The engineers will require logs from the machine in order to further investigate. Unfortunately, this cannot be achieved on the forums.
