However, over the years I weened myself off arm and just let the relay run without constant worries. I believe this is the feeling of most operators. When I feel the need I run nload and Vnstat is handy for analysis. Command line lsof and many others do a good job as well. Again, just offering my 2 cents worth....no attack intended..
