23.7 Legacy Series / VnStat included in backup

« on: August 07, 2023, 11:42:48 pm »

Hi, I have the VnStat plug-in -- great for monitoring usage against provider caps...

I ran a backup from System -> Configuration -> Backups, including the RRD's.  I'm not positive, but it doesn't *appear* that the VnStat data is included in the XML backup.  (* yes, I realize VnStat has its own data, not associated with RRD's -- I said "including RRD's" thinking that might change the behavior).

Can anyone confirm if that is the case?  If not, could that be a feature request?

21.7 Legacy Series / MyCircle parental controls -- arp spoofing

« on: September 09, 2021, 11:16:05 pm »

Hi--

I have a Mycircle device.  It's a parental controls device -- it connects to WIFI, and then uses arp spoofing to "become" the default route so it can see who's talking to who.  Based on client MAC (which can be grouped up under profiles -- in our case per kid, so the teenager has different filters than the 9 year old), it can filter access to specific sites, or block all access, and it's controlled by a simple app.   ((as an aside, I absolutely hate this device -- I would love it if OPNsense did this, I'd even pay for it))  I have a separate "Kids" VLAN that has the Circle, the regular VLAN doesn't...

The device hasn't been working, and support is saying it isn't their fault, it must be the firewall preventing arp spoofing.  They say it's designed to work with a normal network, not an enterprise network (their words).

I haven't changed anything on the firewall in a long time, but I *HAVE* kept up on firmware updates.  In fact I just upgraded to 21.7.2.

My question is...  Did something change in the last, lets say, 6 months, that would affect this?  Is OPNsense now able to detect an arp spoofing / IP takeover, and somehow prevent it?  Can I disable that on a per interface basis?

Many thanks,

20.7 Legacy Series / Bandwidth transfer reports

« on: September 30, 2020, 11:06:54 pm »

Hi, I found something about this in a very old (2017) pfsense forum post, but I'm not finding it here.  I wanted to find a way to keep track of how much bandwidth *transfer* has occurred, month by month -- my provider has a data cap, and it would be nice to know how close I am to it, and how closely my statistics match theirs, along with some historical data to compare with.

Is there an easy way to run a report that shows transfer, rather than throughput?  Seems like this would be a popular feature.
