VPN Traffic Not Being Monitored
Symptom
DU Meter doesn't show traffic when connected to a VPN, or shows incorrect/partial traffic data.
Cause
VPN software creates virtual network adapters. DU Meter needs to monitor the correct adapter to capture VPN traffic.
Solution
Step 1: Identify the VPN Adapter
- Connect to your VPN
- Press Win+R, type
ncpa.cpland press Enter - Look for the adapter that appeared or changed status when you connected
Step 2: Configure DU Meter
- Right-click the DU Meter icon → select User Options
- Select Network Interface from the categories on the left
- Select "All network interfaces combined" to monitor all traffic
- Alternatively, select your specific VPN adapter
- Click OK
Note
If your VPN uses split tunneling (some traffic goes through VPN, some doesn't), you may need to monitor "All network interfaces combined" to capture everything.
