      You're not alone: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=77817.msg425557#msg425557

      I have the same (running 2.1.3), traffic on an internal interface is shown as being twice the amount that is reported on the WAN… :o

        Oh ok. No fix yet? This never happened to me before until now. I'm not sure if it's because of the updates?

            BUMP! What is happening with the mods here? Why can't they acknowledge that this is really a problem?

                These forums are mainly user-assisted.  While the pfSense people are often here to help with some problems, their obligation is to their paid support customers.  If this is a bug then I doubt it's going to get fixed in 2.1.x since they're busy working on 2.2.

                  I get that part. But would it be at least acknowledged that this is a known bug?

                      I also still have the issue of it showing 2x or 1/2 the real traffic, which also causes issues with scaling since it sometimes draws off the graph. It sometimes affects the upload or the download or both, but I have never had it affect both upload and download with the same multiplier at the same time. One may be 1/2 and the other 2x, but not both 2x or both 1/2. Not that I've noticed anyway. RRD seems to be unaffected and the raw numbers seem to be correct.

                        Isn't this a real bug in the system? I mean this wasn't the case in the previous versions. Why is it in the lowest priority of their to-do list?

                          Yes - I've read in the past where bandwidth is display incorrectly at times.  It was a bug before.  Not sure if it still is.

                            I can confirm it still is. It was a bug in the latest version and not in the previous versions.

                              It's a bug in FreeBSD, which makes it appear in pfSense.  Traffic in certain cases counts double.

                                Who do we need to contact to report the bug?
