Per IP traffic Shaping
-
Some time ago i done some tests with limiters and used on LAN, and works fine for me.
Actually i dont use it, because i do the "Traffic Shaping" on each client CPE. All the CPEs ( ubiquiti) on the network (wireless) have that feature….

Well , I will try to do it on the LAN . I have a mixture of ubiquiti and other brands ( without traffic shaping support), I have to support the feature on the core routers.
Thanks for your help!

Hi there. I manage to implement a similar system, and now users on my lan are limited by the limit i implement, and works very fine. Although they can't reach anymore bandwidth if there are more avaiable. So my question, is this possible with pfsense? not that users have a limited bandwidth but a guaranteed one?

:DBtw i think i can clear your ideia. when u limit the WAN you are limiting the connection it-self because all LAN connection access WAN to communicate, so if u have more then 1 WAN and want to limit there usage, you have to place the limiters on WAN interface. But if you want to limit the users of the network, you have to apply the limiters on the LAN interface.

Well, I managed to do this by defining 4 traffic shaping limiters per client ( or IP, group of IP's) . The scenario goes as this:
Always from the point of view of the router
Create 4 Limiters per client:
IncomingWan –->> Download (Select Mask "Destination addresses" when creating the limiter , select also desire bandwidth here)
OutgoingLan --- >> Download (Select Mask "Source addresses" when creating the limiter , select also desire bandwidth here)
IncomingLan ---->> Upload (Select Mask "Source addresses" when creating the limiter , select also desire bandwidth here)
OutgoingWan ---->>Upload ( (Select Mask "Destination addresses" when creating the limiter , select also desire bandwidth here)After creating the limiters you need to apply them on Firewall>>Rules ( I did it over my LAN Interface)
Create 2 rules by IP
You need to specify the IP or IP group as source in one rule and the other as destination.
On each rule , go to advanced and select IN/OUT limiters .
Example : IncomingWan --- OutgoingLAN ( when the IP is the destination) download
IncomingLAN --- OutgoingWAN ( when the IP is the source) uploadThis works for me . Hope I made myself clear.

Your approx work very well to limit the users. Altho now i would like to know how to guarantee instead of limit. i'll start a new threat ty for this tips :)

i'll bring this up for 1 question, it is possible to allow bandwith borrow on limiters? or do i have to implemente a queue to allow this?

I could be wrong but I believe you would have to setup queues for this….
-
You can with childs that can be created on limiters.
You create one limiter.
After that you have a add new queue/child in the form if you click/select the limiter.
So you can imagine the limiter as the link speed you have and you can create childs/queues containing various weights per the priority you want the to have.The important thing here is that a limiters child will use full bandwidth when availble otherwise will split it according to the mask and weight.

Thank you ermal, your answer enlighten me the bit that i need to understand limiters a little better :) I'll try it tonight at home and post if i succeed or not with the implementation.

Work like a charm ;) thankyou again ermal.

Post a screenshot of your Limiters & your Rules

Thanks a lot for the reply…
Link of the SS Image is way too large to use img bbcode
VPS003 is a VPS running behind nat, it's internal ip adress is 192.168.10.8, it is supposted to be getting 10mbps of Download and 1mbps of Upload, as of now its getting all the upload speed the link has and for some reason that i can't understand now i'm getting 1mbps of DOWNLOAD.
I know something is wrong i just can't figure out what it is..
I was using clearOS before i switched to pfsense because pfsense if WAY better as a firewall, all the issues i had with ClearOS i don't have with pfsense and there's a lot more i can do with pfsense now, but if theres something i could never complain about clearos is that i can setup a bandwidth rule in 15 seconds and hell it works.. i really dont wanna go back.

I've seen that thread before but it doesn't explain anything first theres source adress and destination adress it doesn't say anything about that, and now its only 2 limiters instead of 4 they say 2 work but nobody there said how to do it, the guy in this thread said 4 would work as well but as far as i can see nothing seems to work the way its supposed to, i think pfsense should make things more clear for the people that are implementing their software, it's simple all someone has to do is say if you want to limit the traffic for IP adress X you go there, do this apply that reset tables and your set but in a way that there's no way someone can get it wrong and before posting that he should test and see if it really works, i just don't get it why they make it so hard to setup something that should be so simple…

From where are you ? I don't see your "location"
Are you using pfSense in a comercial enviroment ?
If you are in a "hurry", have you considered the comercial support ?
Well, have said that, here we go, example with screenshots:
I have WAN with a 1mbps / 515 kbps ADSL connection ( speedtest_No_Limit.png)
Lets say i want to limit the DL to 256kbps and the UL to 128Kbps only for 1 host, in this case 192.168.1.10 (my LAN subnet is 192.168.1.0/24).
1º Create the 2 limiters
2º Create the LAN Rule with the Limiters
3º Test, thats all ;) (Speedtest.png)

Here the Speedtest without limiter & with limiter

I'm in brazil.
No its my home servers, i've got a fiber 100down 10U for my home servers, about the paid support you shoud never have to pay to get an answer of how to do something that should be well explained by pfsense in the first place, you can pay if you want them to do it for you but not because you don't have a choice, because you don't want to do it yourself that said every software should offer free support, tutorials.
But regardless of that, i did what you said and the same thing i'm still getting all my bandwidth in the upload, for the test i'm using a ftp server running running on that same vps, witch again has a local ip adress behind the nat with passive ports properly routed, tried to reset tables but still i'm getting all the bandwidth of the link, so downloading wise yes it's working but upload doesn't limit no matter what i do i'm always getting the full bandwidth, i did everything you said, triple checked to see if i did something wrong, no it's all right it's just not working…
Just remember EVERY port has to get the same speed, i'm not using this to browse the web or something i'm running servers.
And getting this right will help a lot of people, but thanks for your help i really appreciate it.. hope we can figure this out and get it to work
