      In the last 4 or 5 days I've downloaded around 50 gigs of data in to my network through the WAN interface.  The pfSense box shows an uptime of over 12 days.  Running 1.2.3 Release.  The WAN interface statistics show no where near this total.  In fact all of my interfaces seem to be way off.  Everything is running fine other than this.  Any ideas why?

        There is a note on that page saying that the counters only go up to 4 GB.

        This has already been fixed sometime in 2.0, but I don't know whether the fix has been backported to be included in the next 1.2.x release.

          Thanx.  I have the dashboard widget installed and never really go to the "Status" > "Interfaces" page (until now) but the explanation is right where you said it was.

            I don't think it's fixed in 1.2.x, and it may not be fixed in 2.0 either. It's an issue inherited from FreeBSD.

            The data on the RRD graphs should be correct though, if you want periodic totals.

              At least for me it does not wrap around at 4 GB on the interfaces page in 2.0.  It also does not have the 4 GB note on that page anymore.  I haven't checked whether the dashboard widget also works correctly.
