      Hi everyone,

      maybe someone could help here. I have 100% cpu usage. This is caused by 2 processes.
      I already did a reinstall of all packages but this did not help.
      Version is: 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 (arm)

        I have seen that before if the firewall is under significant DDoS attack. It logs every blocked connection by default but you can disable that by unchecking Log firewall default blocks in Status > System Logs > Settings. Or by adding your own block rule on WAN without logging enabled. That leaves other blocked traffic still available for troubleshooting.

        What are you seeing in the logs currently?
