Bandwidth limit to an IP by IP range instead of (Traffic type, service, UDP etc)
-
Hi,
I would like to know if its possible to set a speed limit to a user/IP by/to a particular IP/IP range.
I know its possible by traffic type, service, port, etc.
What if I want to exclude an IP range (or set a different speed limit) from bandwidth management to a particular user/Ip.
Any clue or help will be appreciated. Any other softwares?
Thank you.

I can't see why not.
Set up your limiters as you would normally. Create your firewall rules that send traffic via the limiters. Simply configure the firewall rules appropriately, 'has destination: IP range you want limited'.http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Traffic_Shaping_Guide#Limiter

hi stephenw10
if i setup limitters 256kpbs up / 256kpbs down and assigned this limiter to multiple ip addresses would it divide the 256 kbps among all the ip addresses or it will assing 256kbps /up/down to each individual ip's
Thanks

Hmm, I'm not sure I haven't used limiters for while.
Probably easiest to test it and see. I think JimP mentioned this relatively recently though, could be worth a search.Steve

kaluYou make two limiters, one for inbound and one for outbound. When you create them, use Source & Destination masks respectively to give each user his/her own pipe. If you want everyone lumped into a single pipe then use None & None.
