Like any other devices, without any settings, PFSense will forward packets first come first serve at full line rate and let something else worry about congestion.

Firewall > Traffic Shaper > Limiter Mask on source address for inbound and and destination address for outbound. There was a walkthrough posted on this very subject a couple days ago.  Look at the posts.

@casper001: yes my friend i configured squid + squidguard and when enable traffic shaper i cound not access anything at all. I am sorry it's may be my mistake but I have read on forum that they can't work on same machine. Same issue with mine…  As soon as shaper enabled, all connectivity is lost. Even from the localhost of the pfsense box. I am running 2.2.4 In-fact after completing the shaper wizard, I go to check the status-queues and nothing is listed.... But when I go to the firewall-traffic shaper they are all listed... Not sure whats going on or why this isnt working. So for now I troll the board and have my shaper disabled. Would love to get it going soon thou!

@KOM: Is there a particular reason you didn't address my last comment?  You're not going to make many friends here if that's the way you treat people who try to help you, and slamming ESF/pfSense because I couldn't come up with a fix for your squid problem is just unfair and unnecessary. @KOM Please see my reply on this matter in topic: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=97108.0 … The topic in hand has nothing to do with squid cyber7-out ps - You will see that your last comment was addressed factually...

Oh it is the IP of a LAN client for testing purposes. Goal is to create an alias of several client IPs for this rule if successful.

If you want to limit wan traffic to a specific site, you can also have a look at my Definitive Guide to Limit Facebook traffic: https://aubreykloppers.wordpress.com/2015/07/22/pfsense-and-shaping-facebook-the-definitive-guide/ It really works and it works well! cyber7-out

Most current shapers support a form of sharing. FairQ doesn't really "shape", it just evenly distributes bandwidth over the flows. Codel, as a scheduler, only manages packet dropping.

The limiter won't help because the limiter doesn't manage buffer bloat. HFSC works great for me, 0ms increase in latency during saturation.

I got it working.  The direction was tripping me up. Thanks all!

for me, I just create via Wizard and have nothing checked and work from there :( I really don't know why creating them manually don't work for me.

Multi-WAN/LAN is difficult to traffic shape since you need a queue for every combination of interfaces you plan to shape. Example If you have 1 WAN and 1 LAN, to shape VOIP, you need one rule/queue If you have 2 WAN and 1 LAN, you need 2 rule/queue If you have 2 WAN and 2 LAN, you need 4 rule/queue If you're just concerned about VoIP getting through correctly, you could try just enabling FairQ on every interface, set your interface bandwidth, and let us know if it helped.

Have you run the wizard and created a default VoIP queue by filling in the Voice over IP page of the wizard?  For traffic-shaping you use the Floating rules tab.  Add a rule that directs traffic from your VoIP phones into qVoIP with your preferred WAN as the gateway.

Please start a new thread rather than bumping an old, resolved thread for a different issue.

System - Advanced - Secure Shell - Secure Shell Server.  Then you can use PuTTY or your favourite terminal app to connect, or go to the console and press 8 for Shell.

ok sir, am really sorry, will take note.

Wow, how did I miss that?!  :o Indeed the shaping rule must be above the LANnet rule otherwise all the traffic will be caught and passed by the LANnet rule. Steve

Ahh yes, that. Once traffic is classified, you can change your shaper rules against the classifications and those updates seem to be instant, but anything that is set when a connection is created is never changed.

I would love to see a checkbox which said, "Bypass Shaper for Squid traffic" I think after reading about 50 posts on trying to get the 2 to work together and only having it work once with transparent mode (version 1.2.3) back in the day after dropping to the cli and replacing some ipaddresses this is long past due. - The two working in concert really really helps low bandwidth connections.
