LAN Filter counts NAS traffic as upload

Normally when the "Ignore local traffic" option is ticked, it will disregard any traffic between a set of local IP addresses.

There is a chance that your PC communicates with the NAS over routable IPv6 addresses assigned by the ISP. For example, if we try to ping our local NAS here, it will print:

ping nas

Pinging NAS.local [2001:db8:...] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 2001:db8:...: time=2ms
Reply from 2001:db8:...: time=6ms
...

If that's the case, please try the latest build. It should disregard local communications over public IPv6 addresses.

Are you saying it crashes after running after a few seconds? That's odd.

Do you know what version you had installed before this (that did not crash)?

Thank you, we found what was causing the crash and have fixed it. Please try installing the latest build and let me know how it works for you.

It's probably something to do with timing and startup sequence. Previously NetWorx would start at boot and you would launch VPN later. Now you likely updated and re-launched NetWorx with VPN already connected, so it's counted. A simple reboot may well fix that.

In general it's a little tricky with VPN clients. Sometimes their traffic is recorded and sometimes it's not, depending on how a VPN client is implemented and which started first. Essentially a VPN client is a process that captures traffic from other applications, encrypts it and sends it over a tunnel. Monitoring tools like NetWorx can't really distinguish that from regular applications.

Yes, you can upgrade to version 7. It should exclude local IPv6 traffic the same way as the build you are using. If you encounter any issues, please let us know.
