Thanks for your time. I've googled for this for a few hours without a
lot of luck. I'm looking for a real-time traffic monitor for FreeBSD, preferably something in ports. I'm a big fan of iptraf under linux, and would like to use something similar to keep track of connections going through my FreeBSD firewall. Unfortunately, iptraf only runs on linux, and I haven't found anything else that is comporable. I briefly looked at ethereal, but it requires X, which is out of the qustion. I'm looking for a CLI tool to use across ssh or directly from the console. I considered using ntop, but couldn't get it to compile in ports (albeit I didn't try too terribly hard). Before I sank a lot more time in here I wanted to see what you all reccomend. I'm currently using FreeBSD 4.9 and 5.2 |

> monitoring tools! I am a little more partial to iftop myself, however it doesnt work with tun interfaces at the moment unfortunately. If someone out there knows how to program (I dont) I dont think it would be to hard to modify it (The author told me a couple of things to try but I lost the info with an accidently rm -R * of the wrong dir !! silly me).

If you want to monitor your traffic and the current connection from
console you sould take a look at [url down] (nifmon). I compiles on 4.x and 5.x and is really a nice peace of software. Christian Alan Hicks wrote: [..] |

Taking a look at nifmon now. I really like it, perhaps more than any of the others I've used. It's default behavior shows pretty much all the information I need in an intuitive way. Thanks. |

While it wait for its inclusion into the FreeBSD ports collection, it is available here: [url down] Simon |
