      Hi Everyone,

      I see 695Kbps upload while I have only 100Kbps download. There are  few computers and phones connected to the router. How can I find out for sure which computer is infected or is running a torrent program if I ONLY have access to pfsense (v1.2.3)?

      I see the discrepancy in Traffic Graph.

      Thanks

        The 'rate' plugin would do it for you.  It augments the regular traffic graph with IP information.

        I can break anything.

          Before I start installing it, is that safe and simple to run?

          Regards

            I can confirm it's safe and easy to install. But it only showed the WAN interface. Unfortunately, not specific IPs on LAN which is what I need. Bonus would be to show type of traffic or port as well.

            Regards,

              Can you try to select LAN where the drop down is in my screen shot?

                Gotcha! I totally missed that. Thanks.

                So, it does all interfaces but not down to IP endpoint level.

                Thanks.

                  Fastest way is to get a packet capture of 2000-3000 packets or so, download the pcap and use Wireshark's analysis tools.
