Hi Im trying to share the bandwith and I want everyone to be able to see what they have used individually, See their own usage.
Obviously I don't want them to access the secured router;
Can I do it?
Cheers

Some definitions:
Quota sharing medium to long term rules limiting accumulated data volume, without prioritization of simultaneous data streams
set up on quota.sh page under Firewall tab. Quotas can be assigned to individual ip_addresses, or ip_address ranges, and appropriate time period chosen from dropdown box. Usually works best if fixed ip_addresses set up in Connection tab/DHCP.sh, but dynamically assigned ip_addresses can be given a quota for DHCP range to allow for guest users --> select "All Hosts without Explicit Quotas (combined)"
If a user enters the router's ip address (default is 192.168.1.1) into their browser url bar, the page will show three headings
Users can bookmark the router ip address, and check their quota usage any time.
Bandwidth Sharing rules for splitting total instantaneous data transfer rates between simultaneous data streams, without necessarily limiting long term accumulated data volume.
QoS Settings under Firewall tab is used to set up bandwidth sharing. Bandwidth sharing can be simple, (each user allocated a minimum share, see above), or can be more complex with priority assigned to particular applications, ip_addresses, or data types (eg VOIP). I will leave this to others, since Gargoyle's implementation is quite sophisticated, and I am no expert on this !!
Note: bandwidth graphs on Status tab are available (if logged in) even if Quotas/QoS are not enabled.
As far as I know (happy to be corrected if wrong), it is not possible to see gargoyle's bandwidth graphs without being logged in.

- Quota = data volume (in Mb or Gb)
Quota sharing = distribution of available total quota over specified time period, eg 100Gb/month divided between 5 users, each one could be assigned 20Gb/month (eg useful in situations where ISP specifies monthly volume allowance)
- Bandwidth = data rate (ie volume/time)
Bandwidth sharing = distribution (second by second) of total available data transfer rate between simultaneous users. eg available total bandwidth from ISP is 15Mb/s, 3 simultaneous users = 5Mb/s each

- Login (normal user won't know password, & can ignore this section)
- Your Quota
shows % of assigned quota, as well as actual_use/total_assigned_quota - Entire Network Quota
same details, but for total network quota (if assigned)
Users can bookmark the router ip address, and check their quota usage any time.

- Bandwidth Usage: shows data transfer rates for selected hosts as they varied over selected timeframe see screenshot
B/W Distribution: shows pie graphs of accumulated data per active host for selected time chunk.

Re: Bookmark Bandwith graphs
Yea its exaclty what I wanted
didnt realize t until i created some demo quotas
Is it possible to customize this page
change graphics
fonts
etc
remove logon option from this page
