Below you will find all the commands for what works for me using SSH. NOTE: You have to install 3 packages to get it working and also start up at each reboot. You also need to do an opkg update to download one more package. opkg update curl -k -LO https://github.com/pyrovski/wrtbwmon/releases/download/0.37_ipv6/wrtbwmon_0.37_ipv6_all.ipk curl -k -LO https://github.com/Kiougar/luci-wrtbwmon/releases/download/v0.8.3/luci-wrtbwmon_v0.8.3_all.ipk opkg install wrtbwmon_0.37_ipv6_all.ipk opkg ins…

No cron entry is required. Works on 21.02.5.

FWIW, wrtbwmon runs on iptables. If you are running on 22.03/Snapshot, I suspect it won’t run on FW4.

EOL???

Anyone reading this thread openwrt no longer uses iptables which renders wrtbwmon useless. I doubt the dev will take the time to fix it.
The below is the output while trying to enable wrbwmon in openwrt 23 rc.

@RuralRoots

wrtbwmon runs on iptables. It won’t run on FW4.

Unlikely. See “ wrtbwmon is not actively developed anymore.”
