+The Filters section contains options to show or hide certain IP addresses display in the table (to reduce confusion). It also has settings to adjust how network hosts are displayed in the list.
-Here, you can choose to:

-  * Hide gateway traffic (usually local, unclassified traffic to your router's web server)
+**Show only these IPs:** Here, specify the IP addresses of network hosts you want to be displayed in the table.
-  * Hide broadcast or multicast traffic (generally local also)
-  * Automatically resolve IP addresses to their DNS names
+**Exclude these IPs:**  Here, specify the IP addresses of network hosts you don't want to be displayed in the table.
-  * Show shortcuts to resolve or hide individual IP addresses
+**Exclude Gateway traffic:**  Enabling this hides gateway traffic. This is usually local, unclassified traffic to your router's web server.

 Clicking **Refresh** will make FreshTomato retrieve current information and update the page accordingly.
-Clicking **Stop** stops automatic refresh of the page if it was previously enabled.

-In the dropdown just to the left of that button, you can select an automatic refresh rate, if you wish.
+You can choose an option in the **Refresh Every** menu to select how often the display will automatically refresh.
+===== QoS Details Notes =====
+The information on this menu is useful for verifying that QoS is working correctly on your network.
+For example, as a series or troubleshooting steps, you might:
+  - Place a VoIP call from a phone on your network
+  - Find connections originating from your phone's local IP address (under **Source IP**)
+  - Watch the data transfer amounts climb to verify the VoIP connection
+  - Verify that connection is properly classified in QoS as "VOIP/Game".
+If that connection displays as "P2P/Bulk", you might try to use the protocol and port information to create a working rule to catch that traffic and classify it as VoIP.  Alternatively, if those are too random, you could search the Internet for information to help you create an L7 filter for it (in Access Restrictions).

-===== Notes =====
-The information on this page is useful to verify that QoS is working correctly on your network, for your use-case scenarios.  For example, you could place a VOIP call from a phone on your network, find connections originating from your phone's local IP address (under **Source IP**), watch the data transfer amounts climbing to verify the audio/video connection, and then verify that that connection is properly classified as VOIP/Game.  If it's showing up as P2P/Bulk, you might be able to use the protocol and source/destination port information to create a working rule to catch that traffic and classify it as VOIP.  Or, if those are too random, you could search the Internet for information that could help you craft an L7 filter for it.
