I'm looking at my network's outbound HTTP traffic. My router, a Linksys WRT350N, provides only minimal traffic logging. The log isn't saved anywhere, and only the source and destination IP addresses are recorded.

Are there consumer routers or replacement firmware available that can perform deep packet inspection, so that they can record more information about HTTP traffic? I'd like to log the URLs and so forth for all of the HTTP traffic.

@Scott Do you happen to know firmware that deals with this? Wouldn't vote to reopen for hardware shopping recs, as these become outdated quite quickly, router firmware would be more generally applicable. – slhck Feb 3 at 17:53
@slhck Yes, dd-wrt (which is comparable which his router ) the the "High" logging setting will do what he wants. – Scott Chamberlain Feb 3 at 18:06
Voting to open in this case. If you can post a canonical answer, please post a reopen request on Meta to have the question reopened. I think it would make sense. – slhck Feb 3 at 18:19

@slhck I tried but this question appears destined to remain closed. cyberpine, get dd-wrt, turn on logging to high, then you will need to get some logging software to catch the logs as the internal storage will not be very large. Here is the first example I found with a tutorial, but I am sure you could find free ones. – Scott Chamberlain Feb 3 at 19:19
