Heklo with analysing some TCP RST packets

Using wireshark I am noticing a lot of TCP RST packets happening between an IP address 10.8.2.3. (and other 10.x.x.x addresses) I have an an example snapshot in jpeg format but can't attach it this website won't let me I guess I don't have 60 points yet or something. I am seeing TCP RST packets between this 10 address and an amazon IP, but it also seems to occur with cloudfare and other domains too. This is leading to my router triggering ack flood and other alerts and dropping the packets, so maybe no harm done, but what are they? My computer uses 192.168.0.100 and I can filter packets on my router between 192.168.1.100 to or from other WAN packets, but how do I filter or block this 10.8.2.3 address? More importantly how do I figure out what process on my computer is initiating this communication? I am looking at tcpview and can't see the process happen, maybe it's too quick, so my thought was disable the 10.8.2.3 address and see if it impacts any programs, but I don't know how to do this.

If 10.x.x.x addresses are class A addresses that are in my laptop somewhere how to I determine what process or PID is associated with them? Thanks
