### Troubleshooting
#### VPN traffics calculated twice
- Some VPN software creates a tun/tap interface (eg. [WireGuard](https://wireguard.com), [OpenVPN](https://openvpn.net)) and traffics are being calculated twice. Currently interfaces with these naming scheme is filtered out, make sure the interface created by your VPN software fits one of the following:
- `lo`: loop-back interface
- `ifb[0-9]+`: intermediate functional block pseudo network interface
- `lxdbr[0-9]+`: bridge interface created by [LXD](https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/)
- `virbr[0-9]+`: bridge interface created by [LibVirt](https://libvirt.org)
- `docker[0-0]+`: bridge interface created by [Docker](https://docker.com)
- `veth[0-9a-zA-Z]+`: virtual network interface created by [Docker](https://docker.com)
- `br[0-9]+`: bridge interface
- `vnet[0-9]+`: virtual network interface
- `tun[0-9]+`: TUN (l3 tunnel) interface
- `tap[0-9]+`: TAP (l2 tunnel) interface
- `wg[0-9]+`: tunnel interface created by [WireGuard](https://wireguard.com)
- `waydroid[0-9]+`: tunnel interface created by [Waydroid](https://waydro.id)
