      Well about the failover and commited bandwidth you can do it. Just need to setup it properly.
      But it is doable pretty easily. The new interface helps with that to.

      For the other things another thread would be appropriate so we can discuss.

        Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but how is the rest of the process going to work ? It looks like people are sending there $$ in, when will the patch be release ? Once it is will it become part of the main project code or just exist as a patch ?

        Read the "Bounty board rules and guidelines" post but that didnt seem to answer many questions.

          The code has been commited to RELENG_1 and HEAD and is being rapidly tested and abused by us.  We have identified a few major issues but all I can say is that this code is going to kick so much ass it's not even funny.  You can select different schedulers per interface now and a bunch of other neat goodies.  Stay tuned!

            wow pf rules ! Ok, sorry for the sudden outburst of enthusiasm. If you guys (the pf community) ever want some prizes for contests or anything like that let me know and I can hook you guys up with some free music gift cards (around $50-100 worth) for grooveshark.com (I work there).

            prob the wrong place to post a random thought like this … feel free to move

              I have been testing the new shaper and OMG.  It's incredible!

              However, I hate beating this dead horse.  We have only collected 500$ of what was around 5K!

              So please, do your part and paypal the amount you pledged today to paypal@chrisbuechler.com !!!!

              If we can get folks moving, we might be able to convince Ermal to make a 1.2 patch and I'll create a package for it.

                  Just an idea, PM those that haven't paid up or email them as i can see wcoolnet & Delphinus hasn't been around lately. And make a list here.

                  Following has donated to this bounty.

                  Still waiting to here from.

                  Maybe a list of features added could help getting more money.
                  hope it helps.

                    Hi!

                    Would just like to check….

                    I've got:

                    • PPPOE with multiple IPs
                    • WAN, LAN and DMZ interfaces
                    • VOIP on LAN
                    • Email and Web on separate IPs in DMZ

                    What I'd like to be able to do is:

                    • Give VOIP highest priority
                    • Then Web
                    • Email low priority

                    Will this mod do what I want?

                    Thanks!
                    James.

                      What it can do:
                      1- Supports CBQ, HFSC, PRIQ schedulers whith any combination of them on any number of interfaces. To suit any strange environment.
                      2- You can shape
                              Bridge, PPTP, PPPoE, OpenVPN or tun devices, IPSec incoming, Overall IPSec tunnels, L2TP, or any other device/software that does IP traffic in a distinguishable way.
                      3- You can create policy filtering as there is a new tab which allows expressing a late match syntax with support for tagging and matching on tags(i call them marks in the GUI), directions. Simple allows one PF expert to do policy filtering.
                      4- The queues are specified in each rule you create, there is no more a rules tab on the shaper section. This makes things cleaner and easier to manage.
                      5- You can shape/override DHCP, DNS, or any default policy of pfSense by just creating rules from the GUI.
                      6- The easiest way to create a policy for multiple interface shaping and filtering, at least in contrast with what i have used.
                      7- [Is on its way] Multiple wizards to use on different environments.

                      Requirments:
                      1- Know how.
                      Meaning you should know what you want then i guarantee it can be done with this new module and the wizards should help on this,

                      Am i missing anything Scott?!

                        What is with outgoing traffic eg. a range of ports within an ipsec-tunnel? Is this possible, for example
                        rdp -3389 outgoing traffic through the ipsec tunnel with a highest priority?

                          For now it is not supported, but is planned after i totally finish the gui cleanup and some small fixes for the current one to be ready to use.

                          The incoming part should be ready approximately by mid September.

                          Let's hope the people will respect this bounty first.

                                  Adding another feature so it remains as a documentation too:

                                  8- If you have 3 different networks separated from each other and you want to combine to a single centralized management with pfSense and the new shaper, they can be handled/shaped separated or even provide failover for them. Kinda, basic support for different domains.

                                      It will do that, possibly more!

                                        @tacfit:

                                        I'll put in 200$ for shaping unrestricted by number of WANs and LANs.

                                        Sorry, there's a lot of pages here, I can't read them all. Has this been accomplished?

                                        (Perhaps another system could be devised for tracking some of these things?)

                                          Yes, it is completed. Only cosmetics issues and some wizards are left. In addition there will be an addition requested by Heiko for IPSec.

                                          Just the people that pledged here have not.

                                            Gotcha. Thanks, I'll be sending that money in shortly.
