# Network overview

Once your gateway service is up and users start connecting to the VPN, upload/download summary data is stored and can be displayed in "overview" tab of Defguard web application. See [architecture overview](https://docs.defguard.net/in-depth/architecture) for details of core-gateway interaction.

On the overview page, you'll see who is currently connected and how much data each connected user transferred. You'll also see overall network transfer charts.

Since **version 1.4**, Defguard dashboard allows administrators to see:

* Current amount of active users / network devices
* Active users / network devices during time period
* Network usage
* Gateway status

### Dashboard

To access this dashboard, go to **VPN Overview** tab.
