📊 How Much Traffic Does the VPN Use
The VPN server itself generates no traffic — consumption depends entirely on your activity.
The doubling rule
Every gigabyte passes through the server twice: the server downloads the data first, then delivers it to you.
| What you do | Server-side usage |
|---|---|
| Download a 1 GB file | 2 GB (1 GB in + 1 GB out) |
| Watch a 5 GB movie | 10 GB |
| Messaging, email, web pages | tens to hundreds of MB per day |
Choosing a plan
Our servers come with unlimited traffic and a channel of up to 100 MB/s, so there is no need to count gigabytes. Current specs and prices are on amnezia.host.
Checking actual usage
- The 3X-UI panel shows traffic per client in the Inbounds section, where you can also set a per-user limit (Total Flow).
- On the server, use
vnstat(install it withapt install vnstat) or the statistics section of your client area.
