View/monitor bandwidth usage by VPN users?

[kevinchen]

Hi all,

I am running a SoftEther L2TP server on my Ubuntu machine. I was wondering if there's a way to see the bandwidth that the VPN is using -- similar to what the iotop command does for disk activity.

Thanks,
Kevin

You can see the number of packet by using GUI Softether manager.

Hey thisjun, I am running SoftEther on a headless Ubuntu server, so it does not have any GUI packages installed. Is there any way to see the same information through the command line?

Thanks for your help!

You can get information by 'ServerStatusGet' command.

Thanks, that worked to see the packets!

(I actually ended up installing nethogs on my server to see the data rate)
