Hello, I installed OpenVPN the other day just to see what i could do with it and if it solved a something I wanted to do with my laptop. So far so good but I noticed something od on phpsysinfo. I know its ok for a few errors and drops but this is scaring me a little:
Code:
Device   Received   Sent     Err/Drop
lo       2.37 MB    2.37 MB    0/0
eth0     995.04 MB  3.91 GB    4/0
tap0     10.92 MB   146.58 MB  0/17092
br0      914.24 MB  21.35 MB   0/0
sit0     0.00 KB    0.00 KB    0/0

The system has only been up for 4 days and the tap divice has over 17000 drops. What does that mean? and is there a way to fix it?

P.S. A second thing is what is sit0? I have no idea...

OpenVPN would generally use UDP left to its own devices. This makes the concept of a drop rather alien.
