Read Potatso's Statistics tab on iPhone and iPad - live speed, traffic by hour and day, Wi-Fi and cellular use, sessions and connection quality.

Updated View as Markdown

The Statistics tab shows your current connection and the traffic and sessions Potatso recorded. Everything is recorded on your device while you're connected.

Time ranges

Choose a range at the top of the page:

Range Shows Pro
Live The running connection. Only while connected. Some cards
Today Today's traffic by hour, and today's sessions. Connection quality
7 Days The last 7 days.
30 Days The last 30 days. Yes

While you're connected, the page opens on Live. Otherwise it opens on Today.

Live

  • Connected: when this session started and the networks it ran over, such as Wi-Fi or Cellular.
  • Download and Upload speed over the last minute.
  • Active Connections: how many connections are open, split into TCP and UDP. Tap it to see them.
  • Routing: how this session's connections split between proxy, direct and rejected routes.
  • Connection Quality (Pro): how the nodes in use did over the last 30 minutes, from the time their TLS handshakes took.
  • Active Connections list (Pro): the fastest open connections, with the rule and node that took each one. Without Pro, you see the first connection. Tap All for the full list.
  • Top Connections (Pro): today's busiest hosts, ranked by Count or Traffic. Without Pro, you see the first host.

Today

  • Today's Traffic: download and upload by hour, compared with yesterday.
  • Time Connected: how long you were connected today, and in how many sessions.
  • Proxied: the share of connections that went through a proxy, and the share that went direct.
  • Most Used Node: the node that carried the most traffic.
  • Peak Hour: the hour with the most traffic.
  • Network: how your traffic split between Wi-Fi, Cellular and Ethernet.
  • Connection Quality (Pro): how many hours were as usual, hour by hour, on each kind of network, and Nodes Quality for each node.
  • Session History: today's sessions. Tap All for older ones.

Connection quality compares each site with its own usual handshake time. A status is As Usual, Poor or Bad. It shows Calibrating until each site has had a few connections.

7 Days and 30 Days

  • The traffic chart for the range. 7 Days compares it with the week before.
  • Daily Average and Busiest Day.
  • Connections and Routing: how many connections were opened, and how they were routed.
  • Network: the Wi-Fi, cellular and Ethernet split.
  • Session History.
