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? 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?

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.

Kids? 3GB to 200M will be a big drop - good luck. Dansguardian again?

already have squid and dans guardian in transparent mode for filtering pr0n etc. you think sarg is easiest for logging? can't recall what I already looked at but I think I tried sarg once. might have to take a deeper look at it. -- Sent from my Ideos X5 On 20/07/2012 9:45 AM, "mailinglist" <mailinglist(a)blahdeblah.co.nz> wrote:

I set this all on a turnkey virtual machine. The webmin interface makes this all pretty easy to setup. Another thread here might be of interest. http://www.turnkeylinux.org/forum/general/20100920/tklpatch-web-filter-proxy
It's a bit of work but this http://www.pmacct.net/ worked for me in the past and u can accout for all traffic and the level of detail is upto you. Greg On Jul 20, 2012 11:08 AM, "mailinglist" <mailinglist(a)blahdeblah.co.nz> wrote:
