Well, the program seems to be heavily based on the low-level network interface that linux uses and will require a little bit of effort to port to freebsd. I use it on one of my linux routers. I don't think I have the time at the moment to port it, but maybe this program might be interesting enough to someone else on this list for them to take the time. I can update you if I am able to get anything working if you want. > > I need sth to prove the traffic to those routers from > outside. > > Do you have experience the max traffic freebsd can > support? It seems to support max 230M only! If you have a computer on both sides of the router then you can run a timed test to see how fast the traffic is. My ISP runs redhat and gave me a shell account to use. The following can be a useful test: time ssh remote-system dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=10 > /dev/null That will tell you the time to send 10 megs of data from a remote computer to the one your running it on. Make sure you read the real time, not user or system. This doesn't take into account other traffic at the same time, but if it's just occasional webpage access, it may not be a big deal. Now this may not be too accurate, I don't know how much bigger the data gets by doing encryption, so a ftp transfer would probably be better. > > Thank you > > > --- "Loren M.
