ARP Broadcast to WAN IP Adresses

Recommended Posts

While running Wireshark on my wireless card and not the tunnel interface I have found that I am almost flooding a network with arp request to WAN IP address that appears not to be owned by airvpn when running them against whois and http://ipleak.net. I am wondering, is this a security risk that should be noted? 

 

I am running Sparky Linux 4.8.0-2-amd64 x86_64, with the eddie-cli_2.12.4_linux_x64_mono edition through Tor. 
 

If futher info is needed I can post samples of Wireshark output and any other further info. 

 

Thank you for your time.

I am more worried that the fact that the request is to outside network IP address and sending 2-4 broadcast ARP every few seconds makes a lot of noise. When I use the temp version of the openvpn config file that Eddie client drop during use, does not cause the ARP request but when I use the Eddie client it performs the ARP request.

That's expected, normal, ordinary and correct. We recommend that you get informed about how ARP works.

 

Kind regards
