    Excessive Disk Activity, writing to config.json file

    My OpenVPN client constantly writes config file. This leads to excessive disk data write:

    This leads to SSD resource decrease. Is there any reason why OpenVPN client do this stuff?

    Hi kindacute,

    That looks like a really odd bug.

    Would be great to find out what is the root cause behind it.

    Would you be able to provide the following info:
    1. Connect app client logs
    2. ovpnagent logs (can be obtained from Console > Log Reports > ovpnagent.log)
    3. Connect app config file ( can be located in ~/Library/Application Support/OpenVPN Connect/)
    With Regards,
    JosephS
