Information provided by the program differs from the information provided by our ISP.
The problem may occur due to several reasons:
- Reason 1
- The program and your ISP use different ways of converting bytes into megabytes and gigabytes. Make sure your program's settings have the same number of bytes in one kilobyte as uses your ISP. More...
- Reason 2
- Someone within your local area network may be accessing the Internet bypassing the proxy server. Make sure that is not the case.
- Reason 3
- Your ISP may count traffic in a different way than does the program. Usually, ISPs count the total traffic, including all kinds of service data, which of course does not get recorded in the proxy servers' log files. That may cause the difference in the traffic volumes.
- Reason 4
- Proxy server errs recording its traffic. Some proxy servers may miscalculate their traffic.
- Reason 5
- Possibly, the same computer your proxy server is run on also runs other Internet software (e.g. mail server, WWW server, etc.) that accesses the Internet directly, bypassing the proxy server. Therefore, all that traffic is not registered by the proxy server.
