Windows 10: Is there anything in Windows 11 that sends traffic through my router to Ireland?

I recently got a new router and I see traffic from my Windows 11 PC that is going to Ireland amongst other unsuspected regions. Is there a normal Windows thing that uses Ireland servers? For instance, maybe Onedrive? Or something else. Currently, I am blocking them, but I'd like to be able to figure out what is causing the outgoing traffic, if possible.

How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

I will assume that these devices belong to you.

step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

Break command list: Break Commands

Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".

OpenVPN - Send All Traffic Through VPN in Windows 10

With OpenVPN on macOS, I have the option to check to send all traffic through the VPN.

With Windows 10 (v1803), I do not have this option.

Does anyone know if OpenVPN 2.4.6 will automatically send all traffic through the VPN? I don't want *any* traffic to not go through the VPN for security purposes.
