Hi
I have recently upgraded from Clearos 6 to 7 Business in the hope that I would get to the bottom of why my internet usage is so high.
My interface report shows 2.8 gb for the day and my user report only 680mb for the day. the traffic is not outgoing but incoming from the internet. My ISP figures concur with interface report.Where can the other traffic be coming through? what can I check.

Hi, That sounds good. Is there a way I can push all my mail traffic through a certain gateway in the multiwan setup? I can do it for my various IP users but the mail traffic seems random and tends to use my capped line instead of the uncapped.
You can use the MultiWAN Destination Port Rules to send all mail traffic out a particular WAN. You will need rules for:
SMTP - TCP port 25, 465 and 587
POP - TCP port 110, 995
IMAP - TCP port 143, 993 -

Hi William,
The Filter and Proxy Report only shows HTTP/web traffic passing through the proxy. Non-web traffic from things like peer-to-peer file sharing (Bittorrent), Dropbox, mail services, etc. won't show up in the proxy report.
There's a new 3rd party ClearOS app called Netify that is currently running as a private beta. Netify basically answers the question - "what's happening on my network?". In your particular case, the Netify Bandwidth Reporting can show you bandwidth information by:
- IP address
- Device/MAC address
- Protocol (Bittorrent, HTTP, IMAP, etc)
- Application (Facebook, Gmail, etc)
- Geolocation
- and more
Disclaimer: I'm one of the guys developing Netify! And yes, I do a lot of work for ClearOS too.
