Hello,
Got my router set up and running, been working rather beautifully (It's an Asus Router, AC5300, running Merlin Firmware version 384.5). I have a 100/40mbps WAN connection into it and utilising adaptive QOS. I am running OpenVPN, two servers - one TUN and one TAP. I am mostly interested in the TUN traffic, as I have a few friends connecting to it.
However, I want to be able to see their traffic. The traffic monitor does not appear to be recording this information that I can see. QOS is working OK, even though it shows all the traffic as upload.
I have configured my traffic analyser to store data onto a usb drive, that is now working (had to format a partition in ext2 for it to work properly or the rstats and cstats got corrupted, but that is another story). Anyhow, all my local devices are recording traffic, but not the VPN devices. Is there a way, perhaps using IPTables (I'm actually a noob and am learning everything on the go), to get the router to record this traffic? It'd be nice to record both my servers, but my main interest is in the TUN traffic. Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.
FYI, I could use PRTG and get each user to configure SNMP on their machines, but I would prefer to avoid the need to configure an additional service on each client.. just a lot of extra overhead. Surely, there is a more efficient way
I do have some basic understanding of linux as well, so I am able to SSH into the router and run commands and what not if need be.
Cheers
Josh
