      Hi pfSense community,
      I'm running pfSense 2.8 with three ISPs (WAN1, WAN2, WAN3) and need to limit HTTP bandwidth to 10 Mbps upload/download per LAN client. Here's my setup and issue:

      Setup: Created two limiters:
      Upload limiter: Source address mask, 10 Mbps.
      Download limiter: Destination address mask, 10 Mbps.

      Working Case: Applied limiters to a LAN interface rule for HTTP traffic using DEFAULT gateway (WAN1 GW). Traffic is correctly limited per client IP.

      Problem: When the rule uses an alternate gateway (WAN2 GW), the upload limiter shows the WAN2 address in the upload pipe, and the limitation applies to the entire LAN network instead of per IP.

      Attempted Fix: Tried floating rules, but I'm unclear on how to configure them for this scenario.

      Can anyone guide me on the correct rule setup (LAN or floating) to ensure per-client HTTP bandwidth limits work with alternate WAN gateways? Any insights or examples would be greatly appreciated!

      Thanks in advance!
