            Well most likely it was traffic to your vpn port that was not actually vpn traffic..  That would be my guess.

              Probably OpenVPN`s management interface, reading stats for dashboard?

                Could it be my SNMP (LibreNMS) VM polling it? Seems to be too frequent for that though..
