[PLUG] Bandwidth vampire

[Chuck Hast]

Yep, looks like it is gathering info on the connected devices, but it does
not
show it. Only thing you get is the global usage/day when you go to:
Status/WAN, you will get a graph of daily usage, and then I go to the
satellite
modem and see that indeed 4G has been consumed by something, now I have
4.6G left for the next 20 days.

I thought it was off, but it maybe the company laptop that may have done  a
windows update on me, I know that those things eat inordinate amounts of
data, I thought that they had turned off the auto-update, but I am going to
have
to look and see if it got turned back on.
