      pfSense+ v23.09.1-RELEASE running on Netgate 8200

      On the main pfSense Dashboard I added a widget for Interface Statistics.

      At this moment it shows:
      Bytes In 13.91 GiB Bytes Out 3.37 MiB

      But if I go to Status/Traffic Totals:
      Bytes in 23.71 GiB Bytes Out 1.7 GiB

      Why are these different? The latter values are collected for today while the former values don't tell me the collection period.

        The interface stats are generally since the interface last went down where as the traffic totals could be for whatever internal you selected.

        I would normally both In and Out to be higher or lower though. I'm not sure what scenario would show in lower but out higher.
