Torch: internet usage only per client (not LAN usage, not connections from WAN interface)

Wed Dec 06, 2017 5:48 pm

Hey there

I haven't been able to assemble a clear answer to this, so I'm asking for two reasons: 1) I need this, and b) so that there's a record / recipe for everyone else.

Torch is great. I can see my clients connecting across the LAN and I can see how much traffic they are TX'ing and RX'ing.

And I can see my public WAN address and all of the destinations it is connecting to.

What I can't see is a view of my clients connecting to Internet (non-RFC 1918) resources in Torch.

Is that possible? And if so, what's a simple way to do that. And if not possible, what's your recommended workaround?

(Why do I want this? Normally, our clients behave very well, but I'm seeing some saturated internet links and I'd like to find the culprits. Yes, I should implement queues, but that's a separate item. For now, I just want to see who the big talkers are, but not people performing local backups. I want to see big talkers to the internet connections.)

Thanks in advance for your help. It's always a pleasure to interact with you all.
