      I am using Pfsense 2.0-RC3
      I'm trying the L7 configuration in order to stop mp3 download on my LAN  but it's not working is there any special configuration in order to block mp3 (add a pattern or something? )

      And for the Traffic Shaping is there any special configuration cz i have packets drops is it normal?

      Thank U

        Not sure if this is right pattern for blocking mp3.

        Have you blocking rule before/above allow rule?

            not sure about L7 but do you have squid setup? You could just block the ext *.mp3 from being downloading i believe.

              On the lanside: it is good practice to set rules in this order
              antilockout
              blocking rules
              allowing rules

              My question was, do you have blocking rule before allowing rules in lan ruleset?

                the pattern din't work maybe my rules aren't set like they should be

                -I have 1 LAN and 1 WAN as interfaces connected so I added a rule on the WAN for my PC's IP pass rule and chose the source as single host and http port 80 as port range
                for the destination i set it to : any
                and chose Layer 7 the mp3 protocol where i added my pattern

                -as for my LAN interface i added a rule using the same IP but as destination not source and the rest is configured exactly the same as on the WAN

                am I missing steps ?
                Yes the order I have is:
                Anti-lockout then the rule that i set it is pass bcz of the L7 i have to choose then the default allow rule is it right?
                no im tryin to make it work without squid
                Thanks GUYS

                  Yes you are.

                  In pfsense rules work on ingress. if you want to handle lan machines while passing through pfsense, you should add rule on LAN not on WAN.

                  Do you want to take screenshots of your lan and wan rules?

                      I'm not using L7 so the answer isn't so exact. but what does behaviour "new", what happens if you change it to "action"

                          "new " is the limiter 1kbps i created
                          I tried to apply it in the L7  and try to download a normal mp3 song from the net it doesn't limit the download speed to 1k

                          and even if I try to use the limiter named "new" in the out/in like the pic i added now also not the result i want

                          i dint understand the SSH thing ? u mean u turned the webGui protocol to https and it worked?  :P
                          THANKS
