That will monitor all traffic going through 2.1.24.34. I installed bandwidthd but it's only local traffic I can't get all traffic through 2.1.24.34. I think I need to but a middle man between NET and 2.1.24.34. I don't have any more ips to use. 2.1.24.34 is a firewall like netgear, linksys, etc setup with NAT. What I see is I need to replace the NAT with something where I have a shell. I don't think it is possible with the current setup, but figured I would ask. Thanks for any help.
