Great stuff. Vnstat is exactly what I was looking for to monitor my total bandwidth usage. Once I get a few months worth of statistics, I can make a better decision whether I want to switch to a cheaper but limited mobile network plan, or stay with my unlimited data cable plan.

So yeah – exactly zero out of all those is installed out-of-the-box…

Here’s one more, that works everywhere:-

ifconfig

which can be turned into a monitor like so:-

perl -e ‘while(sleep(1)){print `ifconfig|grep “RX bytes:”| head -1`}’

In reply to Ali. Use a proper router like opnsense. It can monitor per host traffic and even put quotas on certain hosts or otherwise profile them to use less bandwidth.
