LAN Traffic is more than WAN traffic
-
I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm noticing higher LAN Traffic than WAN actually is.
- My system is single wan,
- I have also other interfaces including WireGuard Site-to-Site VPN (that use WAN anyway), and default gateway is WAN.
- I use also squid, but with disabled cache.
- I also set the limiter, which is 40 Mbit/s at a given time
Here is what I see when I put dashboard next to Status/Traffic Graph
Such remote hosts seems to be located on WAN, but there is no WAN traffic in the graph ??
Squid is generating huge log files, which might be clue. If the traffic is coming from a squid, the traffic graph should show the IP (of remote host) of the proxy interface, isnt it ? How PFsense obtain the IP addresses of remote hosts (in Traffic Graph) ? -
@CZvacko said in LAN Traffic is more than WAN traffic:

That's what it resolves to in a reverse lookup but perhaps that's actually a local IP? Does seem unlikely though.

@stephenw10
When I display the IP address instead of the FGDN in the Traffic Graph, the external IP is displayed (52.11.252.22). That's what puzzled me.How can the traffic graph show an external IP but not have WAN traffic for it??

Well I would certainly test with Squid disabled. That traffic may not be leaving the WAN.
