      Hi,

      Does it exist a reliable way in pfsense to set a max bandwidth for each user (or ip)?

      We have 150 students sharing a 20Mbit/s line (not all simutaneously).  What do you suggest as pfsense measures to distribute this available bandwidth evenly between these students?

      Thanks for comments and tips

      regards

          I assume that 2.0 isn't ready to be set into a production environment yet.  Any timeframe for that…?

          Btw which feature in 2.0 would be appropriate?

          Doesn't the current stable version have features which might help us partly to our goal?

          regards

            2.0 it is on Traffic shaper -> Limiter

            1.2+ you can define queues for every user and set their upperlimit m2 to the limit you need.
            It should work but there is a limit on how many queues you can create which hasn't been bumped yet iirc 64.

              You can also use squid in transparent mode, and throttle all traffic (download limit per client) , that's in Services > Proxy server > Traffic management.

                  Some says it works in 2.0 . But when i access the webgui, it takes 2 to 3 minutes to access the gui :(
