      NOTE! this only happens if the the WAN is PPPoE.
      Currently running pfSense 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 (amd64) with a INTEL I350-T4 NIC.

        @coldfire7 Sounds similar to what I found in
        https://forum.netgate.com/topic/157564/bandwidth-usage-shown-on-queue-status-page-is-wrong. However we have one router behind another, and the one on 2.5 shows correct (the other is still on 2.4.5).

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          @teamits maybe they fixed it on v2.5. But 2.5 is buggy so I'll wait until the next release.

            Using 2.5.1-RC now, the bug is still present.

              Do you have Snort or Suricata in inline mode?

                @steveits No. I'm using Suricata in legacy mode and inline mode completely disables the LAN interface graph I know that.
                I have also checked this using a completely new installation of pfSense w/o any plugins and the bug still exist.

                      @coldfire7 If you change the traffic graph to use iftop instead of rate, does that help? (Top right of Traffic Graph page.) I just read Netgate is changing to iftop.
