      I managed to activate and manage the shaper, but my question is the following: Using the wizard, i have an option "penalty box". Looks good because i want to throttle one IP in my net.

      After finishing the wizard looked thru the queues but didn't find any corresponding entry with that prior entered IP.
      Now my question: Is that normal or am i blind?
      Is it a bug? Where can i see the settings for this specific IP?

      Thanks for any clarification!

        I have never used that feature, but could it be that there was a firewall rule created for that ip assigning it to the limiter?

          Yep. I found it as a floating rule. But there seems to be a bug, only an entry "Penalty Box
          " appeared here without the corresponding IP entered. That rule was obviously an "all to all" rule.
          I entered the IP and now i have to examin what happens the next days.

              Ouch! I deleted the whole thing and tried to do it new (trying all options to get the system behind more clear), so it doesn't exist any more.
              And as i did it via the wizard (none of them working actually, they all jump back to the VOIP-section), i can't reproduce it manually.

              Backups of the respective XML-files don't exist any more.
              Sorry

                  As i can say, maybe. It didn't work first, after entering the details not even, but restricting that thing manually - yes. But then over the whole time and not by queueing. But this is due to my poor knowledge of how the shaper works.

                  Sorry for this "swampy" answer…
