Astrowarp data package

Cloud Services
1

Hello.

I intended to use Astrowarp to establish a connection between my router and server in another rcountry. Only. I am completely bypassing the cloud gateway on the diagram as I don’t need it. And it works well. I got very surprised when I saw few GB of data package to be used over 2 days.

I didn’t want to use any Astrowarp data. I assumed I have a p2p connection and I use my own data. Especially as the speeds I achieve are on the levels limited to my router/server/ISP on both ends.

So can someone explain to me what is covered by the data package on Astrowarp?
Few GB to establish the IP of server and router seems a lot to me.

Hi

Please check whether the P2P option in Astrowarp is enabled.
Otherwise, the connection will be relayed through the Astrowarp cloud gateway, which will consume traffic in Data Package.

Additionally, if the P2P connection fails to establish, it will automatically fall back to using the cloud gateway relay, which will also consume data traffic.
You can check this by clicking on the connection between devices in the Astrowarp web interface.

Thanka. I understand this. I have it set-up like this. I was wondering if there is a log to check what used the memory and when?

I see that you've already received a response on how to check memory usage in other threads.

Here are a few additional points:

  1. HTOP provides a more user-friendly interface, and you can install and use it with the following commands:
opkg update && opkg install htop
htop
# Then you can sort by clicking the MEM column
  1. If you want to track memory usage over time, you can consider installing luci-app-statistics:
opkg update && opkg install luci-app-statistics

Afterwards, you can configure and use it in LuCI → Statistics.
