PermalinkI use my Android phone for tethering and I have disabled all apps from
accessing mobile data, so the data gets only used by my laptop, running
Debian Bookworm, when it connects to the Android hotspot.
I basically use the same sites every days (online translators). I use
Thunderbird for email and Usenet only from public wifi, so this doesn't
go into my data allowance. Same thing for the occasional Youtube videos.
Ma daily data has jumped from around 50MB a day to 250-300MB a day!
I have installed an extension on Firefox that blocks all images, frames,
movies, etc. I still get these dreaded 250 MB a day.
Is there a program that I can run on Linux that checks at what time I
have peaks of data?
I have to rule out (I hope) viruses, trojan horses, etc, as this is
Linux and not Windows, but you never know.
I don't have any automated updaters of any kind. Firefox has been
configured not to update itself, same thing for plugins.
I have disabled Firefox memory cache and enabled disk cache to save data.
So what is it?
Thanks.
