Why does the traffic reported by ProxyInspector not correspond to the traffic shown by the provider?
A5: There could be several reasons for it: Provider counts traffic on the interface while WinGate counts HTTP, TCP/UDP, FTP and other protocol traffic, thus it does not count IP/TCP/UDP headers. Resulting inconsistencies depend on the MTU (Maximum Transfer Unit – for Ethernet the size of the frame) and may be up to 5-10%. WinGate does not log the activity of its own DNS server correctly, it always replaces traffic with zeros, and therefore DNS traffic is not accounted. Malfunctioning of WinGate, sometimes for unknown reason it does not log some sessions, this is especially true for WinSock Redirector Service Your provider counts 1 Kb as 1000 byte while ProxyInspector counts 1 Kb as 1024 bytes by default. This value is configurable – Database | Program settings | Reports | Traffic information format Traffic that bypasses WinGate and traffic generated by WinGate. It is possible if WinGate computer is set up as router or has a mail server, which works directly.
