One point to remember with any of these monitors is that they monitor what
goes to and from the individual PC. So if you have more than one PC on a
network you need to install a monitor on each and also remember that any
traffic between the PCs, even though it is not internet traffic, will be
recorded. I back up between two PCs and always turn the monitor off while
it is taking place. Otherwise your usage figures are distorted.
