At community centre I have a debian server that routes / filters all network traffic. Is there any easy way to produce graphs of daily internet use by machine, by site visited, etc? I've tried to set up a few different packages but I can't figure any of them out, what's the easiest option?
Where I work, I've set up a proxy using squid and sarg to monitor internet useage by machine. http://www.squid-cache.org/ - Proxy http://sarg.sourceforge.net/ - Generates the useage reports http://squidguardmgr.darold.net/ - Configures access and allow sites to be blocked if considered neccessary. http://dansguardian.org/ IIRC I had to compile squidguardmgr for the block lists but I understand Dansguardian might be another option. By the time I'd found that one, I was happily running squidguard. If you set up the proxy and block access to the internet for services not going through the proxy, you should start to get a good idea of the traffic.
Also at home I have one computer that uses between 2GB and 3GB every day. Is there any easy way to limit this to 200M a day and then just cut off the internet for the next 24 hours?
Kids? 3GB to 200M will be a big drop - good luck. Dansguardian again?
