Regarding reigning in the Apple stuff, what approach are you using here?
Cheers,
Most of the time I only allow connection to the iCloud, iTunes, etc.
between midnight and five local time which is what they allow without
tracking usage. I can open that if there is a need to connect at other
times.
I also have another filter that controls specific LAN addresses from
connecting to the WAN except between midnight and five.
And another that I hope blocks WAN traffic to my NFS also on the LAN.
I use the Tomato 1.28 version of DD-WRT which permits a lot of control,
logging, and I can view usage at any time even in real time which is a
good way to see what my system download/upload speeds are as stuff is
transferred.
I also keep a daily record of the ISP'slogged data for my daily usage so
I always know where I stand. I get 25 gigs per month but it costs me $10
a gig for anything I want beyond that. I've been managing our usage for
about seven years now and it works well for me.
Bob
