Traffic Graphs
-
Can anyone explain the pfSense Traffic Graphs to me? I don't think I know what "in" and "out" mean anymore. What if I've been wrong for all of these years? Is anything real?
-
In and out are a matter of perspective. From the perspective of pfSense, in enters the FW and out exits the FW.
So you might see 1Gbs in on the LAN and 1Gbs out on the WAN. Meaning you are sending 1Gbs to the internet. -

Mmm, I've had moments like that!
But, yeah, what Andy said^
Are you seeing something that doesn't reflect that?

I agree pfsense does not define the terms as I had expected but it seams
-
In and out are defined from the perspective of each interface separately. So each WAN, LAN, VLAN has it's own labeling for each data packet.
-
In and out are not named from the overall perspective of your network.

@patch Can it be anything else?
If pf has 3 wans and 10 lans, what is in and what is out, if we don't go by the interface perspective? -
It's always by an interface perspective. How else could it be?
