      I would like to be able to know who is using what amount of the network bandwidth at any given time.  I tried bandwidthd, but it only shows traffic after it

          Hello!!

          You can try monitoring traffic via SNMP, running PRTG or MRTG apps on a separate server and definig there sensors that point to your pfsense server. Of course you have to enable SNMP in pfsense.

          Regards.
