what i am trying to say is that kb is the current choice.  i am betting that if you pick 'kilobits', and the look again, it will still say kb.  for an experiment: change it to 2 megabits, and then when you look, i'm guessing it will say 'mb'.  obviously you don't want to leave it that way, just to prove/disprove the theory for your peace of mind.

I tried, but gave up on Squid as I couldn't get it to work reliably with large downloads. See http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,21458.0.html Here's a (quick & dirty) list of Rapidshare networks: http://www.uebi.net/howtos/rapidshare-networks/rs-networks-20090908.txt I now set up an alias based on this list, and route Rapidshare traffic to qOthersDownL with the built in Pfsense traffic shaper.

I would say you are good to go then :)

i don't actually remember if it was solved - it might be.  i didn't really go back after it, since it seemed not a big deal.

Some clues? How to accomplish this? I've been thinking about writting a curl php script which login to the Web interface and toggle the checkbox to disable/enable shapper. However, I suppose there must be an easier way. Please pfsense gurus, help.

It turns out my audio quality problems might not be traffic shaper related at all.  Not sure, but found bad checksums using a packet capture today. Here is my new post regarding the new find:  http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,21380.0.html

@ermal: Actually on 1.2.3 you can shape inside the tunnel but i am not sure if the rules allow this to be setuped. On 2.0 it is surely possible. In 1.2.3 how do you shape inside the tunnel?  Would it be with firewall rules?  Or a traffic shaper rule? I'm curious because we have remote SIP extensions I would LOVE to run over our IPSEC instead of the internet.  But they also run a lot of SMB traffic over IPSEC, so I absolutely HAVE to shape the data within the tunnel for it to sound good.  Thanks.

is traffic shaping on wireless to lan bridged interfacing working with any1 coz i just dont see the wireless traffic falling into any configured queue other than the default queue.

pfSense is not based linux. It's based on FreeBSD. No you cannot shape directly based on MACs. However what you can do: create static IP <–> MAC pairings. Like this you can make sure that a MAC always has the same IP.

Let us know.  If it is an outbound BW shaping issue, there are posts here that address this.

@danswartz: The default location for these is in sip_general_additional.conf, but you tweak them in sip_general_custom.conf.  Like this: tos_sip=0 tos_audio=0 NB: this is for a freepbx-based system.  If yours is not, you need to figure out where to set these for your setup. Been looking for this solution for a long time. Thanks. Im on the PBXInAFlash asterisk flavor….

i made this post about year ago referencing an older post with the same issue with no resolution, never got a reply. hope you have better luck
