Could the total bounties received be posted in the first post?

What will be required to get this included in pfsense 1.2.1?

You can look 1.2.1 beta

JustinHoMi · Aug 5, 2008, 10:38 PM

Huh?

trendchiller · Aug 10, 2008, 6:44 PM

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?

eri-- · Aug 12, 2008, 8:48 AM

yes.

far182 · Aug 12, 2008, 2:49 PM

This sounds great. Also, at some point will this make it into the public product? Or will this always be private?

eri-- · Aug 12, 2008, 2:56 PM

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 hope, Ermal will released a new build, if 1.21 is out and stable…. :)

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

Contributed $50. I have no real need for it but would like to play with the functionality. Thanks for the effort. It looks like this feature has really helped many people here.

eri-- · Aug 27, 2008, 1:35 PM

far182 · Aug 27, 2008, 1:55 PM

Hi Ermal.

Anychance I can get the link to the shaper? Thanks!

kapara · Sep 1, 2008, 5:23 AM

Hi Ermal,

I sent the money via Paypal to paypal@chrisbuechler.com. $50 for pfSense and $50 for you for the shaper. I got a receipt from Paypal but no acknoweldgement that funds were received by someone from pfSense. What is the next step to get the shaper?

Thanks,

Mark
