      I just updated a test box I have not had time to mess with for a few months.

      I have CP and FR2 setup using the mac address as the user name/ same pass word.
      I noticed right off that the same old bug still exists , the traffic is counting up super fast. I set 2048MB of traffic for the user and in no time browsing the net and a few utube videos the user is disconnected.

      The system resets the daily usage at 12:00 . The pc was on all night (4+ hours,) and not being used it has racked up over 400MB of traffic according to fr2 but the RRD graphs show 0 traffic all night.

      My goal was to use this setup with allowed IP's for work and the rest of the internet is limited . Sort of an abuse limiter. Users on break can surf the net , but not hog it watching videos all day instead of working.
      Any idea when this might get fixed?

        Any comment ?
        This has been a problem for what 2 years?
        Another test passing a 700mMB file through the portal (pfsense wan to lan) racked up well over 2400MB.

          It was reported fixed since the issue investigation.
          Can you provide various runs of the stats collection of pfSense?

            That was after resetting the used octets to zero and downloading a 700MB file through the interfaces.

            I remember it did seem to be working back in July 2012.
            I was waiting for the final release and decided to try the last few snaps again. Same bug is back.

            This was trying to Download 1.5 gb through, it got to 1.1GB and was booted.

                    I'm going to need help with getting that data. I tried

                    /root(9): ipfw table 1 entrystats 192.168.1.23                              " Ip of laptop"
                    ipfw: Context is mandatory: No such file or directory

                    Did some google searching and can't quite figure out how to get these entry stats.
                    Thanks Allan

                      I've tried all I can find and can't get the command to work for showing the entrystats.
                      Open to suggestions.
                      Thanks
