how to know how much data i have used since system booted
you can check under luci / network / interfaces, or use cli tool like ethtool -S for example.
...or a bit fancier (luci-app-)nlbwmon.
Look under system-software
ifconfig from cli
Install the vnstat package. It tracks this and will give you pretty graphs in Luci on the Status menu

can you show how it looks...??
this is how i see
here is output from luci vmstat2 .
One thing is missing thou . There is no automatic backup (save to flash) but can be arranged
Anyone know the differences between vnstat and vnstat2?
vnstat2 is the package included in OpenWRT. I was referring to vnstat2, just dropped the 2
They're both included. vnstat has a doc page in the wiki, but vnstat2 does not. I'm wondering why there are two of them and what the differences are.
$ opkg list | grep app-vnstat
luci-app-vnstat - git-20.108.38431-8f34e10 - LuCI Support for VnStat
luci-app-vnstat2 - git-21.223.26753-57f325a - LuCI Support for vnStat 2

luci-app-nlbwmon what about this one ?
Tracks traffic over time - typically your ISP billing period. Has a runtime cli interface to pull stats from current and past stats (if enabled). See: https://github.com/jow-/nlbwmon
Isp billing is not important as i have unlimited brandwidth
You asked the question.
If all you want to know is total traffic from boot time, just:
uptimeifconfig wan
There’s your answer.
this is IP connection tracking counter . Good on router or with real IP interface . Won't work for DSL modem interface like I have . Also possibly will have similar issue with hardware accelerated routes
