Through today, portProxy.bin has been eating up my CPU, constantly using about 60% and making the fans in my computer whizz up.

I'm guessing it might be connected to my VPN use, but now I haven't been running any VPNs for some hours and portProxy has still been staying at around 60% CPU usage.

enter image description here

I use Cisco AnyConnect to access my schools private network and Disconnect to block trackers and hide my location. Sometimes I forget to disable Disconnect before trying to connect through Cisco AnyConnect, but then AnyConnect can establish a connection and I'm reminded I have Disconnect running. Could this have something to do with it?

Thank you.

    Im guessing that you havent fully quit the vpn app. Try killing the process by clicking it then pressing the x button in activity monitor, right under the close tab button and the minimize button (top left)

I haven't figured out what portProxy.bin is or why it was hogging my CPU, so if you know this, please edit and replace this text with an explanation.

I did a restart and that corrected the problem.
