    Is it possible to get bandwidthd to monitor 2 interfaces (i.e. LAN & DMZ)

      I want to track which computers (IP Addresses) are using the internet, and how much.  Bandwidthd has been working well for me so far when its bound to the LAN port, but I recently added some servers to the DMZ interface and they are using the internet as well…

      Is there a way to monitor ALL internet traffic being used on those 2 interfaces?

      Thanks!

        I've been doing a little work on documenting what does and doesn't work with monitoring on multiple interfaces, and putting it on the Doc Wiki. I had also posted this in another thread, but here is what I have found so far:

        http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/How_can_I_monitor_bandwidth_usage%3F

        In a nutshell: only ntop will actually monitor multiple interfaces.

          I'll cruise over and look at your research, it looks like I may find my answer over there!  Looks like some good work!

            I haven't researched it a whole lot, but for some reason ntop, though the best of the bunch in terms of information, keeps stopping on me without warning. I'll have to look into it deeper as I get time.

              ntop stops for most people, noone has come up with a fix, or a auto starter for it.

                  If you only have one WAN, you can place darkstat or bandwidthd on your WAN interface instead.
