Best methods to monitor HTTP traffic

MikeJeffers

I just stood up a UTM 9 instance at my house. I've got several kids with numbers mobile devices. What's the best solution for monitoring web traffic and reporting on it?

 

I'm interested in reporting based on user. User definitions will have to be MAC addy or IP based since I've got no domain here.

 

I'd love to hear what you've done and what's worked well for you. Paid solutions would be fine, too.

  • Mike, when the UTM's DHCP server assigns an IP address, you can see the MAC on the 'IPv4 Leases' tab.  You also can [Make Static] there which will create a Host definition that causes the IP in the definition to be assigned by DHCP whenever that device appears.  Be careful to assign an IP different from the one assigned by DHCP as static assignments are not "reservations" as with Windows DHCP.  Static assignments must be outside the dynamic range of the UTM's DHCP server.  Once you've done this, the name of the Host object will appear in reports.

    Cheers - Bob
