        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"

                    I just tested with SSH, and it works. What is your current snapshot?

                      "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
