Greetings,
Any thoughts on ways to monitor internet usage (bandwidth, data usage)
as a comparison to what my ISP tells me I'm using?
Is there a more time efficient way to get usage statistics than
logging onto a web page?
What are people on the list doing or not doing for their individual
circumstances.
Sent from my Ubuntu Linux desktop machine behind pfsense box (to keep
it relevant).
Log what your pfsense box's inet interface does - something like cacti,
observium, munin, rrdtool in a script,
Note pfsense doesn't reliably keep its internal RRD files between reboots.
The firewall will see traffic that may be unmetered - things like ARP or
DHCP or whatever. I see my traffic inside PPPoE on a VLAN tagged
interface, and that overhead is not charged.
