iptables, but I seem to remember that it will keep those kinds of
statistics and it will do it on a per-interface level, all you have
to do
is set it up to monitor the interface connected to the internet.

Does something like this work for you?
I don't know.
Using <https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/iproute2/ip.8.en.html> I
was not able to parse the given example.
The output shown for the example hints at "Yes".
I'll have to investigate the references under "See Also".
A reference WITHOUT a link referred to "IP Command reference ip-cref.ps".
A search lead to <http://linux-ip.net/gl/ip-cref/> which EXPLICITLY
stated "It is not a tutorial or user's guide."
But that's what I need. Where should I look?
After a little looking around, I found this tutorial that on the surface
of it seems to be pretty comprehensive.

AIR, iptables will keep statistics on each rule, and that you can design
a rule to handle all traffic going out and another one to handle
incomming traffic, by looking at the statistics associated with each
rule, you will have the information you need.
