Ah, sort of what I meant. I figure if you have a 4 hour window of where this occurs, you can compare side-by-side the hourly usage displayed on the HughesNet side vs the Glasswire side.
Mark's suggestion would make sense only if the "handed over" traffic was UDP. Maybe. In any case your IP address changes very often so if it was the case it wouldn't be much. I have a tinfoil theory of my own, however. I searched but didn't find a solid answer - Netgear and Glasswire are reading/displaying the MB out using binary (base2) or decimal (base10)? Not a huge difference in totals but worth a look..
My even bigger tinfoil theory is that it's possible that Netgear/Glasswire are misreporting external as internal or something even crazier like not including IPv6 traffic.

Well, the idea of base2 vs base10 actually doesn't sound that crazy. Way back when, shortly after getting Gen5, I noticed the difference with Glasswire, and I asked on their forum as to whether Glasswire measured the data in base2 or base10. Well, I actually asked them using binary and decimal as the question. I kind of got the idea that the person who answered me thought I might be a little nuts, as he/she didn't really understand what I was talking about, which REALLY surprised me, and didn't give me a very good answer. I can't remember what he/she said. I'll take a look later, but it's wasn't anything definitive.
But, the difference would be minimal, and maybe right where I'm seeing.
And, of course, it could be the IPv6 traffic idea, too.
Like I said, it's not really all that concerning to me, as the difference is usually no more than 7%. It just shocked me at the beginning with whatever happened with that 80MB vs 120MB. That's just a bit more. :p Hopefully it won't do that again.
What I can do, if I remember, is to go online and check the data readings on the myAccount site using my phone (and phone data, not WiFi), and before I ever even power up the modem. That way I can continue to see what was used on that particular day (by comparing the then current data to what it started at when I checked it with the phone) and I'll be able to use Glasswire again, at least in a day by day fashion, along with the router. After all, three sources is better than two. :)
A bug bounty. LMAO!!!!
Eww!!!! >_<
Sounds good. And yeah I agree the base10 v base2 is a small difference, but could lead us higher or lower. I enjoy chasing these cases because we don't have a bug bounty program so finding the really obscure reason for seeing a certain behavior, problem or what have you is part of what makes my job fun.
