</div></div>Can you copy&paste the output of powertop? It's not always clear what is being<br>
reported. I'm using PowerTop v2.0, and nowhere does it actually show the power<br>
consumption in Watts for individual resources. In the "Device stats" panel, it<br>
shows relative usage for individual resources, but that is either a percentage<br>
(of what is not clear, the sum of all percentages is much more than 100% on my<br>
laptop anyway), or a number of events per second (for example, ops/s for the<br>
GPU, pkts/s for network interfaces). If there is no traffic on the VPN<br>
interface, PowerTop on my laptop says 0 pkts/s. When connected to the VPN but<br>
otherwise idle, the "Overview" panel shows that tincd has only between 0.3 and<br>
1.0 wakeups/s.<br>
