I'm not familiar with Tomato, but I use pftop to monitor active connections with (I believe) all the data you're requesting.  I typically use it from a SSH connection, but I think it's available under the Status or Diaganostics menu as well.

Here's some other options from the pfSense documentation:

https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/How_can_I_monitor_bandwidth_usage

This is great!!!

If I have more interfaces to monitor I just have to duplicate the interface line changing the actual interface and ip address?

Is this OK for adding 3 VLANS ?

interface vtnet0 filter "ip and dst net 192.168.2.0/24 and not src net 10.0.0.0/ 8 and not 172.16.0.0/12 and not 192.168.0.0/16"; interface vtnet0.3 filter "ip and dst net 192.168.3.0/24 and not src net 10.0.0. 0/8 and not 172.16.0.0/12 and not 192.168.0.0/16"; interface vtnet3.4 filter "ip and dst net 192.168.4.0/24 and not src net 10.0.0. 0/8 and not 172.16.0.0/12 and not 192.168.0.0/16"; interface vtnet3.5 filter "ip and dst net 192.168.5.0/24 and not src net 10.0.0. 0/8 and not 172.16.0.0/12 and not 192.168.0.0/16";

I no longer see the service crashing at least for now.

I have disabled all data retention and also the following alert:

Enable Hosts Malware Blacklists
Enable alerts generated by traffic sent/received by malware-marked hosts. Overnight new blacklist rules are refreshed.

I'm letting it run for few more days and then I will enable data retention one at a time and make sure it doesn't crash… I'm under the impression the crash was caused by Enable Hosts Malware Blacklists.

Interesting.

There really shouldn't be too much to it.  I've run it on old 2.x setups and recently set it up again on 2.4.1

Here are my settings:

Enable BandwidthD should be selected

BandwidthD Interface: LAN
Subnets for Statistics Collection:  Select ALL interfaces (hold down CTRL and click) except your CARP/SYNC interface
Extra Subnets for Statistics Collection:  (Enter other subnets as needed) I have one other.

Are you sure those aren't the "Day" markers on the graph, and not ICMP traffic?

I'm having the same problem. Anyone figure this out?

Thanks!

@virgiliomi:

A variety of things could explain different numbers.

DNS lookups from cache would show traffic on LAN but not WAN or OPT1.  Any other caching you might be doing (like using Squid as a cache) can also have such an effect.

Data compression on the OpenVPN connection could also cause differences.

Depending on the media of your ISP, you could be receiving a variety of broadcast traffic on WAN. There are likely external connection attempts that are being blocked by the firewall on WAN too… those still get counted as traffic on the interface.

The numbers aren't different enough that I would think there are problems. If one interface were double the amount of the other two, then I might find reason for concern... but a difference of a couple of megabytes in an hour isn't a big deal IMHO.

Thank you.  Much appreciated.

I use Squid as a transparent proxy and LightSquid for reporting web traffic. For other forms of traffic you can use ntopng though it's not intuitive. And both of these solutions are not per-user but rather per-device. If you need per-user monitoring you'll need to look at something installed on the client workstation.

It's available in 2.4.0 and on 2.3.5 snapshots.

Thanks for the info
I corrected my post…

Hi luckman212. FlowTraq Exporter works fine for me. I still have no way to run it on pfSenese. So I still run it on dedicated Windows box. The results are quite accurate, 2-3% difference with controlled measurements.

You are using outdated package version.

Seeing the same error. The IP is behind the firewall so this could only be happening from an internal IP, maybe the bridge?
Any possibility to see what source IP triggered this?
