vnstatd is the daemon component included in the vnstat package. It runs as a service gathering data in the background and vnstat is the command line interface for querying. When you install vnstat, the vnstatd service starts running automatically (see: systemctl status vnstat). > The T-Mobile device "identity(?)" apparently changes at each power > on/off cycle [ although SeaMonkey has no problem with that it's > apparently relevant at the OS level]. How do you connect to this "T-Mobile device"? Over USB? I am not sure what you mean by "identity". The IP addresses most likely changes each time you reboot it, but vnstat does not care about that, as long as the network interface name remains the same.
