Many times in an hour?  How much traffic does it take to achieve that?  
I think, typically, a home network doesn't cause much traffic.

Please share the name of the utility that can do that so I can try it.

I'm running OpenVPN, but I haven't changed the keys since I set it up.  
I really don't know how secure it really is anymore.
