Limit bandwidth per IP - FW Rule for every single address?
-
Cheers folks,
this is my first topic here since I'm new to pfsense.
I use a pfsense box v2.0.2 at a boarder school. The bandwidth is very limited, about 4Mbps.
I want to ensure that every user gets appropriate access to the net, so I'd like to limit speed
for every IP in the LAN Subnet to 300kbps.I created inbound/outbound limiters and tested them with a firewall rule for single addresses, works
fine so far. But do I have to create a rule for every single address in the subnet? That would be a lot
of work, since there is no option in the firewall rules to pinpoint a range of addresses.Perhaps this is the complete wrong way to achieve what I'm looking for, so maybe someone can give
me a hint.Thanks in advance!

please have a look here: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,59224.0.html
the anon thingie is a subnet and every user in the subnet gets limited to the bandwidth specified. -
Thanks for your reply senser, but what does the "use version" in the linked thread mean? I don't get it. ???

I have no idea :) Does it matter? I don't think so.

Ok, I have the exact same configuration. Two limiters, a firewall rule for the LAN interface with "LAN net" as source.
As you stated "Anon Freifunk" is a subnet. LAN net is my LAN subnet, so it schould work. ;D
