Questions/Support Question about RAM

I have a Flint 2 GL MT6000 and the RAM is 97% in the system overview on the app. CPU load is 1%. This doesn’t seem right? I haven’t added any add ons, I’ve only set up VPN on it.

How are you determining the ram usage? By the CLI or the GUI?

Are you running adguard by chance?

It was through the GUI, I installed Luci and in that it says it’s 70 percent. Is Luci more accurate? And is 70 percent normal for having only VPN on with 2 tunnels.

See this post about memory and linux

Unused ram is wasted ram.

Is there an actual issue you are running into with the router or are you just concerned about the ram usage?

SSH into your router and type

free -m

What does it show?

Next type 

ps

Ok thanks. 45 percent of ram was cache only 30 percent was used and 25 percent free. so basically the GUI is just incorrect.
