Upload / Download accounting
Hey, love the box (blue), but am seeing some strange traffic reporting. The most obvious is a couple of my Nest cameras, I have 4, 2 seem to track traffic, but report GB's of data all in one go vs the constant upload i should see, and the other 2 seem to be invisible to Firewalla, they always show 0 bytes upload / download. I have a supported router and am running in simple mode. Not sure if it's a bug or i'm doing something wonky. thanks!

This is an issue with the software accounting the flows. Currently, we account for when the flow is done (TCP only). In the case of NEST, it has a very long-lasting TCP session (to record your videos), which is not very common. The Nest session is closed either due to networking issues or done remotely by the cloud servers. Hence this is the reason you see a pike.

Hey, I switched my gold to router mode today and was hoping that might help with the reporting with these types of sessions (given its now inline), but it doesn't seem to be any different -- any plans to change the way this works in the future? p.s. loving the gold even more in router mode :)
