Monitor web traffic from wireless clients on home network
I would like to monitor web traffic on my home network from wireless or
other clients (PC or Mac) to see what URLs are accessed. I have a Buffalo
AirStation router with the Buffalo-branded DD-WRT firmware. My desktop
(which I would like to review the traffic on) is a W7 PC with 2 NIC's -
the onboard LAN NIC from the motherboard and an added PCI NIC card.
I tried to set up Untangle in a VM with Virtualbox but failed miserably as
the Untangle interfaces would not get assigned IP addresses via DHCP. I
tried using 2 adapters in Bridged mode - one for each of my physical
NIC's. I looked at doing it with VMware ESXi but that seemed like a royal
pain in the ass - I just have a desktop PC I want to run a VM on.
Ideally, I would like a transparent proxy on the router (but I don't
believe that is possible). That way, the proxy/sniffer would be running
24/7 even when my PC is turned off.
How can I monitor all web traffic going through the wireless router?
