I don't have a straight answer for you, but are you sure the DC is counting all
traffic and not just HTTP/SMTP/etc? I would think they are, but...
Something that may help...the firewall/rules page tracks data usage in the
States column. I'm assuming from when it was last booted. Perhaps make an
allow rule for each server and/or service and see what is tracked?

Subject: [pfSense] Bandwidth Mismatch between pfSense and Data Center
Provider...
We've run into a data overage situation at a datacenter... We get charged a
premium per GB over 500GB (yes I know, stupid). Their reporting system seems to
indicate significantly less data usages vs pfSense's RRD reporting... their
billing system seems to be indicating overage similar to their reporting...
Uploads seem to be growing significantly. Any idea why the pfSense box seems to
be counting differently than the datacenter's metrics? We need to track down
where this usage is happened, but I know users have only grown ~5% over that
same period of time.
Here are stats for each month:
January February
March April
May (to 23rd)
Datacenter (Upload/Download): 618.95GB/76.01GB
365.25/47.15GB 799.92/79.81GB 801.67/105.01GB
581.57/76.26GB
pfSense RRD (Upload/Download): 1372.41GiB/148.91GiB
1388.65/149.60GiB 1697.71/152.24GiB 1706.53/200.86GiB
1177.95/139.55GiB
Any suggestions how or why there is a mismatch?
Regards,
Chuck
