      Hi,
      I'm looking for a firewall linux distro, and as far as I see pfsense is good for me. But I haven't found an issue in the docs that pfsense supports or not. I must set bandwith limit to users by their mac address, not ip address. Does Pfsense support traffic shaping by mac address?
      Regards.

        pfSense is not based linux. It's based on FreeBSD.

        No you cannot shape directly based on MACs.
        However what you can do: create static IP <–> MAC pairings.
        Like this you can make sure that a MAC always has the same IP.

        We do what we must, because we can.
