      As my home network has grown larger and larger, I've started hitting my Comcast caps! (300GB/month)
      I'd like to see if there's a way to have pfSense show me bandwidth usage by IP address so I can find out if there are any bandwidth hogs (IP addresses are persistently assigned via DHCP)

      Are there any addon pkgs that will do this?

        Bandwidthd will do that if your internal clients are all on one interface. There are several tools available some of which can work on more than one interface. See:

          Yea, already read that earlier.
          I'm not looking for real-time stats though.

          I'd like to be able to run, for example, a 1-week or 1-month report and have it show in/out bandwidth consumption (IPv4), broken down by IP address on an interface.

                  Ahhh…sorry, I missed the 'd' at the end of 'bandwidthd'.  I thought you were saying that there was a bandwidth option somewhere in the RRD reports.

                  THANKS!!
