Description

This is only a small bug / misinterpretation.

The configuration interface under "Diagnostic" - "DarkStat settings" presents you with a drop-down-list of all the configured interfaces. However as I was a very keen and curious person I selected ALL interfaces. When I then wanted to see the "dark statistics" I got a timeout. Only by accident I stumbled upon (http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/How_can_I_monitor_bandwidth_usage%3F#Monitoring_on_Multiple_Interfaces) where it was stated that ONLY one listening interface at a time is supported. So I deselected both the WAN and loopback and voila: it worked.

You should either make sure that the user can only select ONE interface in the drop-down-list or put a very precise "ONLY one interface is supported at a time!" warning message on the "DarkStat settings" page. The website is not enough as pfsense might be used as non-internet router. Then you won't see this warning.
