Hi Team
My android app is connected to the Softether VPN.Now I would like to monitor the usage (Mobile data and Wifi) of my phone in the VPN server. Can I check the sent and received bytes with respect to each IP or sites accessed in the phone.
Can I acheive this using Softether VPN server ? If yes , Please let me know how can I implement this

Re: Mobile & wifi usage of Android client connected to Softe
IP/User yes. Per Site No
There are many ways to monitor the amount of data consumed. SoftEther can not differentiate between Mobile and WiFi traffic. This is something to be done on the OS level (i.e. android)
When a VPN session is established, you can see in SoftEther how much data consumed by that user session. In the UI, go to your Hub, then Sessions, double click on the session to see the details. The same can be done using vpncmd
If the user is defined in SE (i.e. not a freeradius user), then you can also click on the user in the user list, to see how much data have been consumed since the user creation.
In other VPN solutions like Strongswan, when you are using freeradius, you can enable accounting, which will save in radius, the amount of data consumed. But as far as I know, there is no accounting in SE
