In my country, there are harsh limits on internet quotas, so I wanted a system that shows exactly where my bandwidth goes. That’s why I built Packet Meter a system that tracks network traffic usage across all connected devices.

It’s lightweight, easy to self-host (uses SQLite for example).

I was also planning to add more features, such as device-level firewall controls, quota limits, a cloud service so you don’t have to self-host and more, but I’ll see if people are interested and where it goes from there. Since Packet Meter connects to all devices on the network, I can use this to achieve even more things.
