Traffic shaper doesn't seem to work (internal)

[toomeek]

Hello Forum,

I've not been here a long time.
Now I have problem :)

I'm testing following edition:
2.1-BETA1 (i386)
built on Tue Jan 22 17:27:09 EST 2013
on virtual machine.

Basically, I want to replace my not QoS-capable router (old Dlink) with pfSense to shape all traffic via wireless connection.
Strange thing is that I set all Traffic Shaper options (including Battlefield 3 I know it uses many ports), but my traffic is not shaped.
If I go to Status: Traffic shaper: Queues I see here:
No queue statistics could be read.

I don't know is this related to my network, which is:
192.168.1.1 - D-Link
192.168.1.253 - pfSense WAN
192.168.1.254 - pfSense LAN
I've already disabled Block private networks and Block bogon networks options for both interfaces since this is internal routing.

Q1: Do I need to have 2 subnets (192.168.1.0/24 + 192.168.2.0/24) to get traffic shaper working?
Q2: Does rule for Battlefield 3 use port 80? (game uses this port)

To answer myself:
Yes, 2 separate networks are needed.
So I disable DHCP on D-Link, enable it on pfSense, use 192.168.2.0/24 for "shaped" traffic and it works,
pings are below 200ms (was 2000-3000 ms before).
Now I just need a second Wifi card to split all traffic between VM and HW router (one for incoming traffic and second for outgoing).

But still don't know how about Battlefield 3 ports? :)

UPDATE:
Well.. does not work correctly. If I test upload ping is ok, but if I change anything related to DOWNLOAD it doesn't seem to work.
See the attach - there should be 1Mbit limit on download, however it doesn't work (still getting max download speed and high pings).
See the attach 2 - if I set something here Internet sharing stops to work.

UPDATE2:
Attach 3 - tried this way, doesn't work. I know that Internet Test Speed sites are doing tests based on first miliseconds, so I would like to set "minimum" and "maximum" speed, this way Traffic Shaper cuts off internet.

UPDATE3:
I did revert to version:
2.0.2-RELEASE (i386)
built on Fri Dec 7 16:30:14 EST 2012

• still doesn't work for download, but adding m1,d,m2 values did not caused Internet access drop,
• manually added only two queues: 200kbit for WAN and 1000kbit for LAN, still getting 100% (2048kbit) of download,
• tried different schedulers: HFSC, CBQ, PRIQ - no change.

WORKAROUND:
The only way I found so far to get download limits working is to add whole LAN subnet to Captive Portal and set the limits.
Running 2.0.2-RELEASE (i386).
See the attach 4.
But this way I'm allowing all hosts from subnet to have internet access and this is not optimal option..

Not enough information to give any help.

What You need then?

Simply, I'm trying to set QoS internally using pfSense.
Let's assume it routes traffic between 192.168.1.x for WAN and 192.168.2.x for LAN.
192.168.1.1 - D-Link router
192.168.1.253 - pfSense WAN
192.168.2.254 - pfSense LAN

Can You point me to information how FreeBSD shapes traffic for download?
It's never shaped for my slow (2Mbit) download… I always get full download & high icmp responses to several common sites, tried several combinations in creator (XMLs), tried setting this download limit manually..
