        Just attach screenshots when you post.

        Rules are evaluated top down, first match stops processing. Post your Firewall, Rules, LAN tab list

        So if you have a host on LAN net that you want to be treated differently, that rule has to be above more general rules.

        Pass IPv4 any source specific server dest any in/out none
        Pass IPv4 any source LAN net dest any in/out limiters

        Not sure why WAN net is an internal network. That's pretty confusing.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

          Sorry my bad, so i've created pfsense server in VM and this vm located in my server, and in my office, The address segment of all server is 192.168.0.x And for all of users who use internet is 192.168.200.x. So i created pfsense with 2 NIC, first NIC is wan segment(192.168.0.254) and the second is LAN segment(192.168.200.254).
          I make a rule for limit the internet usage, and unlimit access to WAN and access to our another server(i make an alias and give name "intranetalias"), So here is my rule
          Here i Attach the tab list

          ![tab list.png](/public/imported_attachments/1/tab list.png)

            Why are all your rules TCP-only?

              Also, WAN Net is not the Internet in general, it's just the network your WAN is on.  Rules 2 & 3 are useless since the same access is handled by rule 5.  You could delete them and get the same results.

                Look at the diagram again. WAN is not WAN but is another LAN/OPT. Nice and confusing.

                  I didn't look at it the first time  ;D

                  OK, disregard what I said about that.

                    Probably still has a gateway set on it.

                      i just want to make rules for 192.168.200.x
                      what did i do wrong? can you give me some example for create pfsense correctly? because if i deleted all of that rules and transfer data to my another server i just have 300-400KB/s but without pfSense i can have 7-8MB/s speed.

                        TCP is just one protocol. You probably also want UDP and ICMP. Change the TCPs to any unless you know you are dealing with TCP ports.

                          I suggest you blow out the config and start over. Make WAN to interface going to your upstream, and make LAN for your LAN.  Get everything routing how you want THEN add OPT1 for the other segment.  Get everything routing how you want THEN worry about the limiters.

                            Wait, i got a little confused. So i need to provide 3 NIC and the wan ip is 192.168.0.1?

                              According to your diagram the WAN IP should be 192.168.0.x and the gateway should be 192.168.0.1 but we only know what you have posted.

                                          Sorry i don't understand, so when i set interface(s) ip address, i should put 192.168.0.1 in WAN IPv4 Address?
                                          will it affect my current gateway?

                                            Your WAN IP address should be something other than your gateway IP address.

                                            IP addresses on a subnet must be unique.
