ermal,
I tried to used by queue tab and clone shaper. is this good?chris

Well i think the vx driver is not on the list of hardware interfaces that support ALTQ, the traffic shaper.
I searched a little bit and i cannot come to a conclusion can you please verify if it supports it or not?
Instructions to enter it on the list of supported ALTQ interfaces:
Go to Diagnostics->Edit File
load /etc/inc/interfaces.inc
search for "is_altq_capable" function
add it to the list there - after ,"ste" add the line ,"vx"
Save
Go to the traffic shaper and it should show the interfaces
Make a simple configuration and reload the rules.
If it does work report back so it get added to the list.Ermal

you right ermal vx is not supported :(
php: : New alert found: There were error(s) loading the rules: pfctl: vx1: driver does not support altq The line in question reads [ vx1]:

bug?
I have am trying to use the penalty box feature and added an alias to it during the wizard setup. It does not look like that it is working. The penalty box used to have its own que and I finaly noticed that it was added to the qotherslow. I am not seeing any traffic going through this que even though there are people using ip's associated with the alias.
Anything special I need to do?Thanks,

Try to see if you are overridng the selection with a policy/rule on the interfaces tab.
Since the wizard creates a ruleset but you have to be careful when adding rules on the interfaces since they override every rule on the floating tab that does not have quick checked.Read previous posts where i go in detail about this.
If you are doing this for optional interfaces too please check posts before cause you need to apply a fix for that
till the new update goes out after the move to FreeBSD 7 has settled.Ermal

That was it! I missed the quick part in reading the posts.
Thanks!

You can look 1.2.1 beta
-
Huh?
-
1.2.1 will be a version to fix up the bugs from 1.2 and introduce FreeBSD 7
No features will be added…

I would love to contribute. Can I get a confirmation that there is an embedded version of the new shaper for people who contribute?
-
yes.
-
This sounds great. Also, at some point will this make it into the public product? Or will this always be private?
-
You decide :P read before posting just showing respect for an endless thread going more endless.
This thread is the only documentation available about the new shaper and buring it with posts is not doing any good.

I just sent $100 to paypal@chrisbuechler.com. Looking forward to the PM with instructions on where to get the new shaper. :)
I know it's a small token, but I will try to help and contribute more when I can. Personally, I would like to see this made available to everyone. This way it can be tested and improved faster. Personally, I will be testing this on my home Embedded router with 1.2 Release. My ultimate goal would be to set this up in our work production environment (many locations). I would prefer to wait until it's in a RELEASE version before putting it into production.
What kind of donation would be big enough to make this public and part of the RELEASE? Basically, very very very stable. I might be able find some contributors.
I have read through every thread on this post, but for testing I was hoping I might get some help with configuring for my test environment. Please let me know how it's recommended to configure the shaping using my setup. I have a ALIX3 with LAN, WAN, and WIFI. I have a 6mb/768Kb DSL. Right now I have the WIFI disabled as I was warned that shaping doesn't work with 3 interfaces. Right now (with 1.2 RELEASE) I have a nice shaping configuration for my LAN & WAN. Basically VOIP is put on highest priority. I have also put all HTTP/HTTPS traffic into another queue and made it low priority. Here is my config (attached):
P.S. I want to bridge my WIFI with my LAN.
Thank You!

I think I can throw some money into this if..
Traffic Shaper works with MultiWAN
And
Captive Portal works with MultiWAN
Also
I need to be able to load share across uneven links, (Cable modem, and a T1 for example).
Also fail over of traffic should one link go down be automatic.
Let me know if this is possible and I'll see what i can offer.

I would like to hear an answer to this question too.

Well I guess my paypal account (verified one) lost my credit card I had in there. So it's waiting until my eCheck clears on the 18th for the $100. Bottom line is that the $100 is on it's way. For now, I added my credit card back in (into paypal) and just donated another $25 via PayPal. It says it's been sent.
Thanks again for the fantastic work! I look forward to access to the updated image. I get a new PFSense ALIX box tomorrow and would love to be able to load it up with the new stuff.
Thank You
