      Hello. I have setup a multiwan firewall, with traffic shaping.
      I want to apply bandwidth rate limiters on certain hosts. I created an alias for these hosts, then at Floating Rules I created a new rule at the bottom of the list, since I read that floating rules are validated bottom to top (question here, would the traffic shaping still work for the hosts that I try to limit?)

      Well limiters aren't working. Unless I make the rule Quick (but then the other rules I have will not work)  OR  I disable the default LAN rule which actually does the load balancing.
      Someone suggested I placed it in LAN, but that would mean the other rule for HTTP/S, SSH etc I have there so that these protocols don't load balance, won't trigger.

      What can I do for my limiters?
      Below should be some screenshots showing my setup. Note that there's actually one more limiter I made for lan_inbound, with mask: source; didn't post that screenshot due to space restrictions.

        Check "quick" on the floating rule.
        and/or use the queue action, not pass.

          I did this, changed my rule to Queue and made it Quick, but it doesn't work.
          If I make it action Pass and Quick it will work but then LAN rules won't validate.
