The following example addresses case of a mapped web server accessible from the Internet.
Any (anonymous) user in the Internet can connect to the server. However, web servers are
usually located on a special machine which is not used by any user. Therefore, all traffic of
this server will be accounted for users who are “not logged in”.
However, if any user is connected to the firewall from the server, any traffic between clients
in the Internet and the web server is accounted as an activity of this user. If this user also
reaches their data volume quota, corresponding restrictions will be applied to this web server
( see chapters 15.2 and 9.2 ).
21.2 Settings for statistics and quota
Under certain circumstances (too many connected users, great volume of transmitted data,
low capacity of the WinRoute host, etc.), viewing of statistics may slow WinRoute and data
transmission (Internet connection) down. Be aware of this fact while opening the statistics.
Therefore, WinRoute allows such configuration of statistics that is customized so that only
useful data is gathered and useful statistics created. If you do not wish to use statistics, it
is possible to disable them (this will increase processor’s performance and save disk space of
the WinRoute host).
Statistics settings also affect monitoring of volume of transferred data against user quota
(refer to chapters 15.1 and 20 ).
Use the Statistics / Quota tab in Configuration → Accounting to set gathering of statistical data
and accounting periods for quota and statistics.
