I would like to monitor network traffic for a computer on my network
My son does homework on a school laptop. I was thinking about setting up a gateway on my home network, so that I can monitor web traffic and know if he is doing his homework without standing over his shoulder. Ideally I would like to use the Raspberry Pi Model b that I already have. However, I might buy a mini computer with two NIC ports.
I want to use a Linux distro with hopefully a GUI interface to see what traffic he is generating. Hopefully someone has a suggestion on how to set this up.
Thanks

lwp::debug
LWP::Debug(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation LWP::Debug(3)
NAME
LWP::Debug - deprecated
DESCRIPTION
LWP::Debug used to provide tracing facilities, but these are not used by LWP any more. The code in this module is kept around
(undocumented) so that 3rd party code that happen to use the old interfaces continue to run.
One useful feature that LWP::Debug provided (in an imprecise and troublesome way) was network traffic monitoring. The following section
provide some hints about recommened replacements.
Network traffic monitoring
The best way to monitor the network traffic that LWP generates is to use an external TCP monitoring program. The Wireshark program
(<http://www.wireshark.org/>) is higly recommended for this.
Another approach it to use a debugging HTTP proxy server and make LWP direct all its traffic via this one. Call "$ua->proxy" to set it up
and then just use LWP as before.
For less precise monitoring needs just setting up a few simple handlers might do. The following example sets up handlers to dump the
request and response objects that pass through LWP:
use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->default_header('Accept-Encoding' => scalar HTTP::Message::decodable());
$ua->add_handler("request_send", sub { shift->dump; return });
$ua->add_handler("response_done", sub { shift->dump; return });
$ua->get("http://www.example.com");
