VPNMON VPNMON-R3 v1.7.0 -Sep 20, 2025- Monitor OpenVPN/Wireguard WAN/Dual-WAN Health & Random Reset Multiple Connections (Available in AMTM!) - v1.8.0 Beta3

[Viktor Jaep]

I think this is right.
The order of operations matters here — trying to disable monitoring after the fact is too late. Discovered this by doing it the wrong way first, then restoring again. (Only for the second go-round, monitoring had already been disabled by me.)

Thanks guys!!!!!

Just kill the script before doing any VPN/WG major slot work in the UI. Make sure it's not running. That's the simplest answer.

Seeking feedback... I've been wanting to add an indicator showing how busy a certain connection was, and borrowed some functionality from RTRMON. Initially it was just a colored block (green/yellow/red) indicating bandwidth being consumed, but since I was getting actual numbers, I decided to just use them. I'm now wondering... is seeing incoming Mbps enough, or shall I just get it over with, sacrifice a little more screen space and show outgoing Mpbs as well?

I think it would be a great addition to vpnmon. If your gonna paint a picture why stop halfway.

Download would be generally more useful for me but if you can squeeze them both in why not?

Here's an early VPNMON-R3 beta... this update just contains the UI change indicating connection speed over the course of the timer. Please let me know if you see any inconsistencies!

What's new!?
v1.8.0b2 - (October 2, 2025)
- MINOR: Added more visibility to the main UI, and included both TX and RX stats for each connection. Please know, these stats are basically the average connection speed across the length of the timer. They may not be entirely 100% accurate, and are a close approximation of the speeds encountered during this period of time. At the moment, the ranges for Green = 0 - 100Mbps, Yellow = 100 - 250Mbps, Red = > 250Mbps. Config menu item #14 allows you to modify these values based on your own personal preferences and bandwidth.
- PATCH: Fixed a few small inconsistencies across the script.

So yeah... you were correct in your assessment. Looking at my RTRMON code, those values are actually reversed, even though I am pulling the right RX and TX values. They seem to be reversed at the source. I've made this change, and published Beta 2:

curl --retry 3 "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ViktorJp/VPNMON-R3/develop/vpnmon-r3.sh" -o "/jffs/scripts/vpnmon-r3.sh" && chmod 755 "/jffs/scripts/vpnmon-r3.sh"

Please let me know if it looks better! Also, I've added a Config Menu item #14 that allows you to change these values to your own preferences. Thanks for taking a look!

Initially looks great but did run into some wonkiness after doing a reset/reconnect. After the reset the rx/tx counters went to 0 for that slot. Wan still showing expected rx rate.
I tried stop/start vpnmon but no change. I will try to see if this repeats again later.
It did clear up sometime over night. That vpn slot is showing correct data this AM.

I see the same thing happen on the RTRMON side when resetting a slot. It doesn't show any traffic, but slowly starts ramping up. I've never really looked into why this happens, but I can certainly dig into it more.

@Viktor Jaep is it feasible to have separate configs for the WAN0/WAN1/Wireguard/OpenVPN sections or would that be "scope creep" and silly?
What are your thoughts?

In my case my main WAN0 HFC connection is 1000 Mbps down / 100 Mbps up, my WAN1 5G backup is about 80-200 down / 5-40 up (varies wildly).
I only have a couple of devices going via NordVPN (Wireguard) and VPN Director, and that never pulls more than 300-350 Mbps download, in Sydney at least.

So defining what constitutes Low/Medium/High utilisation "depends" on the interface if you see what I mean ... probably just over-complicating it!

I can always count on @Stephen Harrington to come up with a doozie! Lol. I can definitely think about it... Would make things a bit more complex to set things up, but definitely possible.

In the interim, maybe choose some values that overlap between both connections? I'll sleep on it!

 

[Stephen Harrington]

I'll sleep on it!

Upon reflection, I think ignore it!

 

[Viktor Jaep]

Upon reflection, I think ignore it!

I can check that off my list then! LOL

However, I'm wrestling with possibly separating the TX and RX thresholds, since you did bring up a good point... your upload bandwidth is not symmetrical, and could benefit from it's own range. Would this be a worthy compromise?

 

[Stephen Harrington]

Would this be a worthy compromise?

Indeed I think it would - that's a very good call!

 

[Viktor Jaep]

Beta 3 is out, now featuring the ability to set your limits/thresholds for both RX and TX values, thanks to input from @Stephen Harrington!

What's new?
v1.8.0b3 - (October 5, 2025)
- MINOR: Added more visibility to the main UI, and included both TX and RX stats for each connection. Please know, these stats are basically the average connection speed across the length of the timer. They may not be entirely 100% accurate, and are a close approximation of the speeds encountered during this period of time. At the moment, the RX ranges for Green = 0 - 100Mbps, Yellow = 100 - 250Mbps, Red = > 250Mbps. Config menu item #14 allows you to modify these values based on your own personal preferences and bandwidth. Separation between RX and TX thresholds has been added for those with asymmetrical internet connections, with thanks to @Stephen Harrington for the push in that direction! TX range defaults for Green = 0 - 15Mbps, Yellow = 15 - 25Mbps, Red = > 25Mbps.
- PATCH: Fixed a few small inconsistencies across the script.
