Identifying Bandwidth Hogging Websites / Devices

Post by egru »

Hi,

Ours is a typical teenager household and I have recently started using Gargoyle router.

I want to know if there is any easy way to

a) Identify the devices which use the most bandwidth during a specified duration sorted in descending order of usage, that is devices with most usage of data at the top of the list ?

b) Identify the websites (or domains) which use the most bandwidth during a specified duration sorted in descending order of usage that is websites with most usage at the top of the list ?

c) Can I throttle bandwidth for specific domains instead of specific devices (e.g. youtube etc.) ?

Finally, is there any tutorial or video or PDF document which shows how to use the monitoring and quota features of Gargoyle router from beginner to advanced levels.

Yes, but only basic

You can download data via CSV and cretae details stats on a spread sheet/
b) Identify the websites (or domains) which use the most bandwidth during a specified duration sorted in descending order of usage that is websites with most usage at the top of the list ?
Not really, most traffic is now https encrypted. (yes, to limited limited stats)
c) Can I throttle bandwidth for specific domains instead of specific devices (e.g. youtube etc.) ?
again https, we can't see what the traffic is.

Data limits per device is gargoyles strength
