Tracking Network Statistics

Enable and view per-rule traffic statistics tracking for network rules in VergeOS, including packets and bytes counters for firewall, NAT, and translate rules.

Statistics tracking can be enabled for Accept, Drop, Reject and Translate rules. This allows viewing the total number of packets/bytes processed by a rule. Currently, statistics cannot be tracked for Route rules.
