        You really need pfSense to be between the ordinary users and the internet. A pfSense device with LAN and WAN. Then you can do traffic shaping and lots of other stuff.
        Tell us your current configuration of LAN, internet connection and where you have a pfSense sitting if you need more help.

        As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

          Um that is not a wan IP, that is a rfc1918 address that you would use on our lan.  Why do you need to control bandwidth on your lan?  To your 2k8 server?  If you go into more details of your perceived issue and what you would like to do to fix it.

          We can either agree this is best solution, or maybe point you in better direction.  Maybe pfsense can solve your problem, maybe not - but without understanding what your wanting to do exactly??
