Hi

 

So I haven't logged into my Slingshot account in a while but after doing so today I've noticed that the data usage has gone up heaps in the last 4 months! I don't believe anyone in the house is using that much more data all of a sudden. Is there an easy way to track down whats using so much data or where do I start?

What kind of router do you have? Could be your router acting as an open DNS resolver.

 

Ensure your IP is not resolving by using this: http://openresolver.com/ 

 

 

I'm such an idiot! When I switched to the RouterBOARD 962UiGS-5HacT2HnT I forgot to change any of the default firewall rules. Now its not resolving anymore and data use is back to normal with 15GB used in past 24 hours. Thank you for your suggestion!
