An exact solution is impossible for the reasons you state. But you *can* do heuristic approximations. I don't know of any free solutions though. But I know that the OP isn't alone. There's a company doing that for the web sites they host, based on the httpd (Apache) logs. > Dave Kind regards, Hannah.

Re: Url checker
Thanks Jasper, I just thought of another solution. Stupid me not thinking of it earlier. I can log all http traffic with PF and write some perl to process the logfile. Can't believe I was staring blind on a 3rd party solution. Nils -Original Message- From: J.

Url checker
Hi list, Anyone knows a good URL checker that runs on OpenBSD? My boss wants me to monitor web site traffic and present a report with all visits to all websites per user (pc). I've searched the internet but did not find an appropriate (free) solution. I have been playing with the idea to use snort, but that seems a lot of work to me. Any suggestions are more then welcome.
