Very helpful for solving a long-time problem of friends and family hogging the internet! I separated a WiFi network on a VLAN, built the limiters and applied the firewall rule. Now all those external users on Facebook, RUclips and games have an aggregated upper limit on bandwidth! And I no longer suffer from lagging network performance while I'm trying to work at home :) Thank you Torogi Pro!
Actually, the first entry seems to be the "UP" rule (Local to WAN) and the second to be the "DOWN" rule (WAN to local). Since you have a symmetric limit, you will not notice the difference though. I was in fact a bit baffeled when my supposed-to-be 50-down, 5-up was actually reversed. Besides of that: Excellent video!
really impressed ... and I need more explanation about auto detect IP as well please. which mean my router was assign auto IP address who come first. in this case how to limit the speed and ban download with particular IP.
I've tried this method in 2.4.4, and for some reason, if I set multiple hosts under the same limiter, they'll share the bandwidth set for it (in and out). Tried manually tying the IP addresses to the same limiter, and grouping the network. Also, I'm using SQUID proxy transparently, and for some reason, it seems squid does not have delay pools, since that was the first approach I wanted to use. Also tried to create as a test different limiters with the same size and tying the IPs, but for some reason it also breaks? Perhaps its time to set it up from scratch, as multiple power outages have hit the system
Good Morning Sir, Please suggest how to set data quota on any alias .I mean when one IP or client reach a define monthly or daily amount of total data (up+down) it will be throttling down to specific bandwidth. example: Bandwidth up and down both 5 Mbts/s then when he reach 100GB the bandwidth will be throttling to 1Mbts/S.
Will this not allow the host to hit the internet with any and every protocol? If I am limiting my users to specific ports/protocols then will I need to do theis for every outbound rule?
hi master , i have a concern ., i hope you can help me ., my LAN interface in PFsense is only 100xbase full duplex, how can i config that to 1000xbase? TIA for the answer .
Hello, nice video, if I have VLAN installed how can I limit a specific VLAn, for example I have VLAN10, VLAN20 and VLAN30. I want to limit VLAN10 and VLAN20 to use 1MP down and 1MB UP bit I want to let VLAN30 to use freely without limit
You need to create a rule for each VLAN interface in Firewall. Limiters are general, can be applied to more interfaces, don't need to recreate the limiters.
Hi there, i have a question, i have normal router with wifi antenna that my mobile and another devices connect to my router wirelessly, and i have pfsese firewall but it doesn't support wifi my question is how can i connect my pfsese firewall to my router then my wifi devices can connect to my pfsense wirelessly?? Thnx
A query, IP bandwidth control works great for me, but when I want to control by ip range, it does not work it gets very slow it's like 2Mbps would give the whole ip group and it does not work, I'd rather it worked and when it was updated to 2.4 the pfsense no longer works, I say it should be better, right? Thanks for your help.
im new to using pfsense, the available bandwidth on our network is quite small - please how do i limit the bandwidth on all ip addresses on the network so no one person can exceed say 2Mbps and also monitor usage by IP if thats possible?
thanx for the totoriel my friend! i have another case that i want implementent ! i have active directory, pfsense like a firewall server in my network! i want to limit bandwidth per user of active directory not per ip address or mac address! if there is a solution please help me! thanks anyway
Hi.I tried like this and it worked good.but I realized the user use full speed when download any file from any sites.can you help me?do you have any idea?
this does not work because it combines the bandwidth for all the ip addresses, I mean, if you limit 3Mbps, it will distribute 3Mbps among all the ip addresses in the alias, or what am I doing wrong?
Hi dear, Im from Pakistan and I really like your videos. I used traffic limiters they work good. But when there are more than 100 users the limiters dont work good and bandwidth chokes.... Plz help
Boss tanong lang.. naka lan connected po ang tp-link router sa swicth then ang switch connected sa pfsense... ito problema naka access point yung setup ko sa router with portal kung naka-lan connect ok ang connection pero kung naka-wifi sya nasa .12kbp lang speed ng check sa speed test. Pero sa lan naka 50mbps ang speed.. ano kaya posible setting gawin same ang speed nya..

Hi, if i follow this and i do set a range of IP addresses as an alias each IP will be limited at 3MB per ip not 3MB Total for all of the ip addresses correct?

This is the best example of this I have seen in over 5 years of using pfsense. ty

Great, simple instructions what work! Just 1 tip: In the Alias list, you can specify device names instead of IP addresses .
Thanks for the video. Much appreciated. :) I'm still somewhat new to PFSense, and your videos are helping me get up to speed.
Perfect and straight to the point, no BS and easy to follow. You have my thanks and a Sub
great video!! I wish I watched this video before diving down the traffic shaping rabbit hole, its exactly what i needed

Thanks for the info I forgot to change protocol to "ANY" and was getting different speeds with different sites
nice one. thank you
Thanks for your video. Can i use this settings on dual wan? How? Pls help. Thanks.
Does pfsense comes with a hardware? or do you can use any router?
Good Morning Sir, Please suggest how to set data quota on any alias .I mean when one IP or client reach a define monthly or daily amount of total data (up+down) it will be throttling down to specific bandwidth.

Nice explanation, thanks
Does this will limit only internet speeds or also will limit lan ? Need this but only to limit internet speed...
on the firewall>rules>lan advance tab the in/out pipe should it be reversed order?
can you create video on how to block website on specific address using pfsense?
Will this not allow the host to hit the internet with any and every protocol? If I am limiting my users to specific ports/protocols then will I need to do theis for every outbound rule?
Thanks man!!
muito bom, obrigado por compartilhar conhecimento.
@Torogi Pro:
Question: What hardware do I need to do this?

bro, may episode ka ba for captive portal using user manager? login page. not the voucher authen.
Sorry bro, lanpa ako tuts nian.
Cge, abangan ko na lang. thnx
Great example. How do I contact you for software projects?
I prefer to use this way: go to Captive portal, enable captive portal, go to MACs, paste MAC, and put Up/down speed---- easy!
thanks!
Doesnt work
Can you please elaborate also on how to limit per pppoe client. Let sat client 1 3mbps. Client 2 2 mbps and client 4 1 mbps.
Hello, nice video, if I have VLAN installed how can I limit a specific VLAn, for example I have VLAN10, VLAN20 and VLAN30. I want to limit VLAN10 and VLAN20 to use 1MP down and 1MB UP bit I want to let VLAN30 to use freely without limit
Yes. You can do that. Use the network to set limitations. In this video i used ip.
You need to create a rule for each VLAN interface in Firewall. Limiters are general, can be applied to more interfaces, don't need to recreate the limiters.

Hi sir, do you have a tutorial for "how to limit bandwidth per application in every PC"
This feature is not available in pfsense. This can be done with sonicwall, sophos and other firewalls that have licenses.
so how do I allow certain users on my network to full web access after i set up my website rules
i have a question, this is the same that reserve bandwidth
I already configure the same what you do but why can not be effected on my network.
You might be missing out on the configs man.
Some idea to implement Data Transfer Quota in pfsense?
Will filter go if you close that software?

Use a max 1mb per user. That will be good enough as users use more download than upload.
