Jow Forumsuys... how much bandwidth does omegle text chat use?
Long story short, I'm a fucking degenerate who engages in pic related. I still live at home (of course). My parents got hit with a massive internet bill for last month, and they're wondering where it came from. Am I fucked? Or am I in the clear and there's some other shenanigans going on?
no but you probably torrent a lot of gay furry porn if so that's the issue.

I am (was) using an obscure Android client on my phone. I uninstalled it today because I was shitting bricks. For reference, this internet bill extra charge was supposedly for €100 extra for ~3.5TB of data. That'd hardly be from a text-based medium, would it?
Carson Nelson
Not actually furry shit (surprisingly, although it might as well be). The meme is just the easiest way of explaining things
Grayson Butler
Also feel the need to clarify I haven't torrented anything. Just paranoid that my one unusual web activity might be the cause of this somehow
Jaxon Cooper
No. 3TB is what I put up every month maxing a 10Mbit connection 24/7, (I also had 1.5TB download there) You do not use 3.5TB by accident. That is basically non-stop 24/7 HD video streaming range.
Ian Cooper
what I'm trying to say is that 3.5 tb is absolutely impossible just from omegle text chat either you're torrenting furry gay porn or someone's using you as a seedbox
William Johnson
The seedbox thing is what I'm thinking. I don't even currently have a PC, but my sister uses a bunch of dodgy anime streaming shit her ex set up for her, so I reckon that's what it's from. My parents are both black belts in IT/network admin and my dad was saying there was an unusual amount of upload traffic, but it was still only ~20% of the 3.5TB we're getting billed for
Kayden Watson
>or someone's using you as a seedbox This. Do you live in a crowded location? Someone has probably hacked your WiFi. If not that then one of your devices is probably pwned with malware and someone is using that machine for their own ends.
Grayson Perez
Not super crowded, but certainly possible that we've been hacked. Regarding the malware thing, that's also certainly possible; I said my dad was a "black belt" in network admin etc but he's still a typical middle aged man and therefore retarded when it comes to personal computing
William Torres
That's a good reminder to put the kids in their own vlans.
Josiah Gonzalez
lol nope. It's probably just your sister doing something retarded like learning torrenting and streaming nuruto in the background to pad myanimelist stats or something.
Elijah Myers
I typed ifconfig on a home device with a default password that I use for "things" once and saw that since the last reboot 10TB had been sent out over the wifi. So I'd suggest you portscan yourself first, check your ip on shodan even. If there's a bukkake of chinks with ssh scanners or something like that abusing an entry point on your network you've got a problem.

get out
Parker Barnes
Not likely. He said 20% was upload. That would mean downloading almost 3TB. Nearly no PC comes with that amount of storage. And streaming wouldn't cut it. Youtube 1080p is only ~5Mbps, which would be 1.5TB if watched 24/7. There also wouldn't be anywhere near that upload from streaming.
I'd say someone is torrenting on their connection, but probably not the sister, since those are some pretty serious stats. I throw around BD Box sets and burn through that much traffic. That's not BDrip territory unless you're just sucking down EVERYTHING.
Matthew Thomas
I didn't even know that anyone on Jow Forums used Omegle. I jump on every once in a while and there are less than 20,000 people on according to the counter on there because it's dead as shit (or at least text mode is). I figured most other ERPers moved on to Second Life except for OP for some reason.
Adrian Myers
if the dad is network admin, he probably knows a thing or two about wlan security. Maybe her sister is streaming nuruto 4k upscales. Always expect retardation instead of malice.
Jaxson Hill
Like I said elsewhere ITT, I don't really have a PC at the moment. I also actually hooked up with a chick from omegle once IRL (she was a fucking psycho, not worth it), so I have a bizarre fondness(?) for it
Android will still show you wifi usage information. It should be under Wifi & Internet > Data Usage. It'll break it down by app including uninstalled applications (it'l just say "removed apps and users" though)
Aaron Hall
>instagram links >kik links >troll this guy xD >snapchat links >thirsty neckbeards begging for asl Omegle didn't always used to be like this
Owen Wood
Fucking thank you!!! "Removed Apps" for May (the month in question) is literally just 10mb. I can rest easy now. Unless of course my wifi somehow got hacked via my retarded omegle shenanigans lol. Man, tell me about it. Despite what this thread might make you think, I'm always up for a decent non-lewd chat on omegle. Very few and far between these days. Aside from all the shit you just said, there's an awful lot of alt-right brigading there (which I personally dislike)
Joseph Sanders
How come you don't just go on Second Life if you want to RP? Or for that matter don't go on there just to chat with people? There are better options than Omegle for pretty much everything you'd use Omegle for.
