      Hi, New here. Been using pfSense now for about a month. We are a small gaming community and have someone using a single IP at times to spam UDP packets and connections at our game instances.

      If there a way to limit the number of UDP connections or packets being sent per IP?

      Thanks

        There's no such thing as UDP connections. It's a connectionless protocol. TCP has connections.

        PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
        UniFi AC-Lite access point

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

            You'd have to check addresses or ports. No idea about that though.
