Bandwidth Tracking
Your account dashboard shows near real-time bandwidth usage.
Scroll down near the bottom left corner of the page to view the Current & Past Bandwidth Usage table, which will show:
- your username
- any sub-accounts you have
- your current total bandwidth usage
- your past bandwidth usage from previous billing periods.
If any of the bandwidth numbers is underlined, you can hover over the bandwidth number to view a chart (sample illustration below) showing your bandwidth usage by day for the past 30 days.
Calculation of Bandwidth Usage
Bandwidth and bandwidth usage are measured in gigabytes ("GB").
Bandwidth usage numbers are usually updated every 5 minutes; occasionally an update can take up to 15 minutes.
Calculation of your bandwidth usage reflects all of the data passed through the proxy server, as indicated by the sizes of the request and response.
When content is gzipped, the calculation uses the gzipped file size. The proxy simply transfers bytes between your device and Internet, and therefore only counts what it sees.
You may wish to review Data Compression in the Bandwidth Limits article.
