apt? I'm not in linux... I'm working with freeBSD this evening. My way of dealing with limitations is to write new code or modify old code. BTW, it's MUCH nicer dealing with ipv6 in un*x environments when compared to Windows.

At the moment, freeBSD. I just found this: sudo pkg install emacs Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... FreeBSD repository is up-to-date. All repositories are up-to-date. Updating database digests format: 100% pkg: No packages available to install matching 'emacs' have been found in the...

Oh. Sorry, I'm a bit distracted at the moment with C code. I need a better editor on this damn freebsd VM. "nano" just doesn't hack it for writing code. I wonder how long it'd take for my old emacs keystroke memory to return (and how badly it'd screw me up at work.) (I'd use vi, but that...

@sfx2000, not sure the point of your reply...

Can only take educated guesses here... if your modem has 4 ports, it might be a "router/gateway" and not just a "modem." (The make/model of the router plugged into some google searches would reveal that answer.) It sounds like you're describing that it used to work fine, but suddenly overnight...

@Chrismallia, I don't know if this will work, but try to head over to sophos.com and read up on their "UTM" software. (Not the XG Firewall.) You can get a demo or home license for it, and if you install it between your router and switch (So it wouldn't be acting as a router itself) even on a...

Just because something is old doesn't mean it's bad. Quite of a few of the "improvements" made to newer generation consumer wireless products seem like companies using early adopters as beta testers. If you want to stay in the consumer realm, based on what you posted (and what I'm familiar...

THANK YOU for actually addressing the question. As mentioned earlier in the thread, ntopng is about the closest you'll get with pfsense, and the version currently available as a package (for pfsense) is a bit out of date. It's more of "used alongside of" package instead of something...

Why is this going around and around in circles? The OP references "per client per app" monitoring on the Asus router - which is L7: I recently had the Asus router. In fact, in a different thread, I posted a link to a screenshot of one of those monitoring apps that include L7 data. There's...

Perhaps, but this is all in reference to reporting and real time reporting, not blocking/allowing traffic.

I think they already started. Doesn't the 5300 have a fan? (The internal pictures here show one: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews/32921-asus-rt-ac5300-wireless-ac5300-tri-band-gigabit-router-reviewed) I know that the AC3200 (which didn't have a fan) could have used...

I really, really, really need to spend the time to REALLY play with routerOS. I'm close to using up the 24 hour "trial" period on my image and will be popping back into demo mode soon. Hopefully I can still play with some of those things in the really limited demo mode. (Or I can just start...

I built one... based around a "Supermicro Mini ITX A1SRI-2558F-O" board in a M350 mini-ITX case. Here are the amazon links for the parts I used. (I had an old SSD I installed with it): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HS4NLHA/?tag=snbforums-20...

...another tool that doesn't report per app (level 7) data? With NetFlow, there are hundreds of apps that can do some really nice reporting, but NOT per app. At best, they'll give a src/dest address, protocol (tcp/udp/icmp/etc) and port number. That MIGHT be enough data to guess what app is...

I suppose it depends on what the small business is. If it's something in the medical field (requiring HIPAA) or something with other similar privacy requirements, then the needs would be different from... a small construction contracting office with 4-5 people (as an example.) In this forum...
