Are there any programs that help you monitor all router activity besides client-side shit like wireshark? Preferably some kind of GUI that makes it relatively easy to see the amount of traffic and bandwidth being used, without sacrificing in-depth information?
Would, obviously, have all router login information and shit, but the web tools are so horrendous and aren't live capturing/monitoring so just wondering if this is even a thing.
As an example, i've been using Glasswire (pic related) and it shows me all the information I need with the GUI i'd like but only on this one device, not the router itself.
Would I have to get a custom firmware for the router to do something like this?
Assuming you're routing isnt a shitbox, they pretty much all support NetFlow.

its the cucknood.net macfag who thinks everyone should use hugeass cisco 150w at idle routers at home again here, lmao

Ah that image looks like exactly what I'm after. Organized and concise.
Thanks for the info, gonna look into that now.

Just a FYI but it needs 16GB RAM and 8 CPU cores. Technically you could get away with about 12-14GB and 5 cores.

go to /r/homelab, that is the place for hardware fetist autists like you who believe you need this kind of equipment at home

>go to /r/homelab It is full of poorfags and I get downvoted constantly when I tell people they were retards for using ZFS because muh bit rot which wouldnt be a problem if they bothered to read datasheets, knew what unrecoverable read errors were, and that they should have bought enterprise class disks.

only the most lowly of plebeians have no need for a Cisco FirePOWER

Buy a real router which supports NetFlow and there are tons of software packages which will accept the NetFlow data and make pretty graphs and tables for you.
It needs that much because it has a IDS and malware protection and a bunch of other shit integrated in to it, and is designed to manage large environments with hundreds of appliances.

It is about 925 watts under a full load, I forgot to load the disks in that pic. I have a second (pic related) but it is usually powered off because as you mentioned, power bills/heat.

yeah it's pretty clear it has the information I'm looking for, but I was just assuming the monitoring aspect of it wasn't that heavy. Doubt I'll ever be able to get that kind of information out of my current home router

>Doubt I'll ever be able to get that kind of information out of my current home router What is your internet connection speed and your budget?
Jason Lopez
It's a pretty shitty home connection, around 150/150 Mbps. The fact that I'd need to make separate purchases kind of answers my question, I was hoping I could just use my current system to occasionally view that kind of information when the need arises, but it doesn't look like that's possible after doing some minimal research.
Nathan Mitchell
To expand on this, I've pretty much only used nmap to analyze my network, never gone anywhere beyond that and never really had the need to.
Only recently have I had the desire to really get into the monitoring aspect of it after using things like the OP pic, extremely useful but limited to just my system, not the entire network. Looks like a whole new beast entirely.

Cisco ISR 3945 if you want to be able to utilize all services, or a ISR 2951 if you just want NAT and some other minor stuff. Or look in to virtual routers which support NetFlow.
