A partial solution could be your spare desktop acting as a bridge(4) using two NICs, and sysutils/darkstat as the monitoring software. If you can't or don't want to pass traffic back and forth through the spare desktop, try port mirroring (Cisco SPAN port/monitor session), "ifconfig em1 up monitor", and sysutils/darkstat. -- +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | Vennlig hilsen, | Best regards, | | Trond Endrestøl, | Trond Endrestøl, | | IT-ansvarlig, | System administrator, | | Fagskolen Innlandet, | Gjøvik Technical College, Norway, | | tlf. mob. 952 62 567, | Cellular...: +47 952 62 567, | | sentralbord 61 14 54 00. | Switchboard: +47 61 14 54 00. | +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+ From owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Mon Jan 4 16:11:56 2016 Return-Path: <owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@mailman.ysv.freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:1900:2254:206a::19:1]) by mailman.ysv.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 504EBA61A66 for <freebsd-questions@mailman.ysv.freebsd.org>; Mon, 4 Jan 2016 16:11:56 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from juan@inti.gob.ar) Received: from sbg-out.inti.gob.ar (sbg-out.inti.gob.ar [200.10.161.69]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E59D51C0C for <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>; Mon, 4 Jan 2016 16:11:55 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from juan@inti.gob.ar) X-AuditID: c80aa145-f79586d000001bfa-3a-568a963d7c2c Received: from [200.10.161.55] (jb.inti.gob.ar [200.10.161.55]) (using TLS with cipher DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA (128/128 bits)) (Client did not present a certificate) by sbg-out.inti.gob.ar (SMTP_INTI) with SMTP id C4.05.07162.D369A865; Mon, 4 Jan 2016 12:56:45 -0300 (ART) Subject: Re: Software for bandwidth management To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org References: <CAO-kBwf5Y8=0pZkEEVRpndK8NEdKXkt2pxS4yA+0L5pU9VFbgw@mail.gmail.com> From: Juan Bernhard <juan@inti.gob.ar> Message-ID: <568A9658.9010508@inti.gob.ar> Date: Mon, 4 Jan 2016 12:57:12 -0300 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/38.5.0 MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: <CAO-kBwf5Y8=0pZkEEVRpndK8NEdKXkt2pxS4yA+0L5pU9VFbgw@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Brightmail-Tracker: H4sIAAAAAAAAA+NgFupjluLIzCtJLcpLzFFi42I5wbXQXNd2WleYwcsbYhYvv25icWD0mPFp PksAYxSXTUpqTmZZapG+XQJXxscpEgUb+Cq2NuxnbmA8xt3FyMkhIWAi8e/NYRYIW0ziwr31 bF2MXBxCApOYJDa0zWIGSQgL6Elcb/vPBGKLCChKnDnTyApiCwkESHx908EGYrMJqEl8PXMK LM4roCUxd18DO4jNIqAi8fD0D6AaDg5RgRiJpoPMECWCEidnPgHbyykQKDF741ew8cwCthJ3 5u5mhrDlJZq3zmaewMg3C0nLLCRls5CULWBkXsUoXJyUrptfWqIHDKFMvfT8JL3Eok2MkFBy 3cG4d536IUYBDkYlHt4NfR1hQqyJZcWVuYcYJTiYlUR4C4q6woR4UxIrq1KL8uOLSnNSiw8x SnOwKInzfv4uFCokkJ5YkpqdmlqQWgSTZeLglGpgnHojRKDZN03bLf9T57l5NpzbOG5d+nNA SGl7Y/WtrU+jV95oNGNeYHXqwmk3YQ/d5YejzvmvYmf4Z3FBJTbnzY5fHvYRhVJ7V7bZnbjC /fLObl1X7+tJvziX3NRae2n70xy+a6lsG9S6POec+cVke0E31GlF2IMbIbff/xWMzVlakbFE dufan0osxRmJhlrMRcWJALAYvhohAgAA X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.20 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions <freebsd-questions.freebsd.org> List-Unsubscribe: <https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions>, <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/>; List-Post: <mailto:freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> List-Help: <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=help> List-Subscribe: <https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions>, <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=subscribe> X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 04 Jan 2016 16:11:56 -0000 El 04/01/2016 a las 11:39 a.m., Paul Stuffins escribió: > Afternoon Everyone, > > I have a spare desktop lying around here that I want to turn into a basic > bandwidth monitor, along with various other things including website > filtering. If you mean to filter http and https by url, you will have to use a proxy, and acl filtering. I would recommend use an old desktop to do this. This will became the bottleneck of your network. > > I have seen https://www.untangle.com, which I believe is based on FreeBSD, > but I am not keen on paying the $50 a month for a license, is there any > software that anyone can recommend to me? > > My needs, to start with, are basically to monitor what devices are > connected, and how much each device transfers on a hourly/daily/monthly > basis, and potentially apply limits to each device. If you just want to know bandwith usage for each IP address on your network, you cold do 2 things: 1) Use a port mirror in your router switch port and redirect this traffic to a dedicated interface in your freebsd server and log all using net-mgmt/ipfm 2) Configure your router to log traffic to your freebsd server using netflow, then configure net-mgmt/nfdump to save and show statistics onf the server side. If you decide to use a port mirror and collect all traffic, you can also use net/httpry to log all http urls accesed from your network, but it will not work with https, you cant see the encrypted url unless you have a non transparent proxy. I hope this helps you.
