Networx is filtering out local traffic within the LAN, does Gargoyle do the same? EDIT: Perhaps Networx is having issues tracking usage in Metro apps, because I watched about four videos in HD using Metrotube and one of them was 85MB...	pcuser42 (130)
1347434	2013-07-01 03:49:00	AFAIK, Gargoyle doesn't monitor internal traffic. My figures are always close, but almost never identical, to the Telstra/Vodafone ones, I assume because of differences in counting the transfer size (packet overhead, etc.?). They diverge a a lot more nowadays due to some sites being unmetered (TV3 & TradeMe, for instance). Don't think it's that easy to make Gargoyle keep track of those...	MushHead (10626)
1347435	2013-07-01 04:30:00	Gargoyle will "count" anything going from the LAN port out the WAN port. I'd hazard a guess that software one isn't as accurate ;-)	Chilling_Silence (9)
1347436	2013-07-01 05:25:00	Aah, so if I visit the modem management page a lot, I'll use up my quota :D Yeah figured Networx wasn't accurate after I worked out that one YouTube video was bigger than my apparent usage :p	pcuser42 (130)
1347437	2013-07-01 05:40:00	Aah, so if I visit the modem management page a lot, I'll use up my quota :D Correct. It doesn't distinguish that's not actually "the internet". It's only shortcoming... Yeah figured Networx wasn't accurate after I worked out that one YouTube video was bigger than my apparent usage :p Yeah pretty much I've never really trusted software-based ones. The router is always more reliable in my experience. If you take off the "Exclude LAN traffic" option is it more accurate though ?	Chilling_Silence (9)
1347438	2013-07-01 05:54:00	If I turn off "exclude LAN traffic" that'll be even less accurate as there's a lot of traffic within the LAN...	pcuser42 (130)
