Web tracking, logging software

[greggpb]

At the moment we have a windows SBS Server and a running a domain, we also have a pfsense box running as our gateway.


I want to look at some way to log internet usage so each user can get a weekly report on their internet usage, is an attempt to get people to understand how much time they are spending on social sites.... I report somthing like this would be awesome


User1 facebook.com 300mB 6hours
User1 youtube.com 1gb 4 hours


somthing open source would also be great...

My mail goal is to point out to people how much time they are wasting as oppose to blockign sites..

Squid proxy, IPCop, Smoothwall with SARG

Any of those should do the trick

GFI Webmonitor or If your router supports netflow. I would use manage engine netflow ( two free interface licenses )

Both are pretty simple to setup and use.

Replace the pfSense box with untangle. It can email you daily reports on internet usage per ip address.

check untangle (untangle.com). It's really simple and awesome. You'll need to have 2 network cards on the PC

you get a free license, standard and premium. A free licence should be enough to give you the reports and details you need

Hi There
Go with untangle. I used it at home to settle an argument with the kids about who uses the internet the most.

Can it replace my current pfsense firewall, which provides Openvpn and instantiates the adsl connection
