Bug#484886: This is still current

[Max Waterman]

I see this bug (on ubuntu) with:

$ gnome-system-monitor --version
GNOME System Monitor 3.32.1

I frequently use a VPN (ExpressVPN, using it's CLI). I've noticed that gnome-system-monitor usually reports (roughly) double the bandwidth of other network tools. My guess it is it summing the bandwidth used by all the interfaces, and when there is a VPN or other network interface that forwards through another interface, that means the result is wrong/misleading.

You can reproduce this by installing expressvpn - they have a trial period.
