    WAN address Local IP

    apt? I'm not in linux... I'm working with freeBSD this evening. My way of dealing with limitations is to write new code or modify old code. BTW, it's MUCH nicer dealing with ipv6 in un*x environments when compared to Windows.

    At the moment, freeBSD. I just found this: sudo pkg install emacs Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... FreeBSD repository is up-to-date. All repositories are up-to-date. Updating database digests format: 100% pkg: No packages available to install matching 'emacs' have been found in the...

    WAN address Local IP

    Oh. Sorry, I'm a bit distracted at the moment with C code. I need a better editor on this damn freebsd VM. "nano" just doesn't hack it for writing code. I wonder how long it'd take for my old emacs keystroke memory to return (and how badly it'd screw me up at work.) (I'd use vi, but that...

    WAN address Local IP

    Can only take educated guesses here... if your modem has 4 ports, it might be a "router/gateway" and not just a "modem." (The make/model of the router plugged into some google searches would reveal that answer.) It sounds like you're describing that it used to work fine, but suddenly overnight...

    @Chrismallia, I don't know if this will work, but try to head over to sophos.com and read up on their "UTM" software. (Not the XG Firewall.) You can get a demo or home license for it, and if you install it between your router and switch (So it wouldn't be acting as a router itself) even on a...

    Just because something is old doesn't mean it's bad. Quite of a few of the "improvements" made to newer generation consumer wireless products seem like companies using early adopters as beta testers. If you want to stay in the consumer realm, based on what you posted (and what I'm familiar...

    THANK YOU for actually addressing the question. As mentioned earlier in the thread, ntopng is about the closest you'll get with pfsense, and the version currently available as a package (for pfsense) is a bit out of date. It's more of "used alongside of" package instead of something...

    Router advice

    Why is this going around and around in circles? The OP references "per client per app" monitoring on the Asus router - which is L7: I recently had the Asus router. In fact, in a different thread, I posted a link to a screenshot of one of those monitoring apps that include L7 data. There's...

    Perhaps, but this is all in reference to reporting and real time reporting, not blocking/allowing traffic.

    Potential pfSense (or other x86 Router Distro) box - Shuttle XH110/XH110v

    I think they already started. Doesn't the 5300 have a fan? (The internal pictures here show one: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews/32921-asus-rt-ac5300-wireless-ac5300-tri-band-gigabit-router-reviewed) I know that the AC3200 (which didn't have a fan) could have used...

    I really, really, really need to spend the time to REALLY play with routerOS. I'm close to using up the 24 hour "trial" period on my image and will be popping back into demo mode soon. Hopefully I can still play with some of those things in the really limited demo mode. (Or I can just start...

    Potential pfSense (or other x86 Router Distro) box - Shuttle XH110/XH110v

    I built one... based around a "Supermicro Mini ITX A1SRI-2558F-O" board in a M350 mini-ITX case. Here are the amazon links for the parts I used. (I had an old SSD I installed with it): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HS4NLHA/?tag=snbforums-20...

    ...another tool that doesn't report per app (level 7) data? With NetFlow, there are hundreds of apps that can do some really nice reporting, but NOT per app. At best, they'll give a src/dest address, protocol (tcp/udp/icmp/etc) and port number. That MIGHT be enough data to guess what app is...

    I suppose it depends on what the small business is. If it's something in the medical field (requiring HIPAA) or something with other similar privacy requirements, then the needs would be different from... a small construction contracting office with 4-5 people (as an example.) In this forum...

    Router advice

    I've been playing with this whole thing... the OP references monitoring and real-time monitoring... not exporting. As well, requiring a second machine for reporting might not be the best solution for a small business. (I don't know.. the OP didn't state a preference and I think we've hijacked...

    Router advice

    For a medium to large business, I agree that the asus choices can't handle it. Yet, the OP did specifically reference those asus reports. Even you have to admit that there's NOTHING in pfsense that can do that. You can get a significant amount of data if you're willing to add more machines...

    Router advice

    It does have nice reporting. As well, it deals with the complications of IPv6 by... not really supporting ipv6. (You can do basic interface configuration for ipv6, but if client machines use it, don't expect to get any reporting from them.) I can't suggest untangle (or any other router...

    Router advice

    Please show an example report or screen shot. We've all seen what the Asus router can show, but I've never seen pfSense or RouterOS with a good reporting showing per-host traffic - or any level 7 traffic report whatsoever. No examples, no screenshots, no nothing. Only people saying "it's...

    Router advice

    I'll give you a contrasting opinion... Over the past month, I've loaded every single free router package that can be loaded into a virtual machine, and NONE of them... None whatsoever... offer the level of detailed reporting that the current asus routers offer. Don't take this to mean that...
