        I too am having an issue with Limiters and LAGG groups. In 2.2.2 it didn't work at all for WAN. In 2.2.3, if you don't set an out limiter, it seems to work.
        I had to change over from Shaper to Limiter as I moved to LAGG. I had to move to LAGG because CARP state sync change from pseudo interface (WAN/LAN) to actual interface name (igp0/igp1).
        How is 2.2.4 looking in regards to LAGG with Limiters? I will take LAGG and ALTq as well. or hang it all and go back to allowing different interface for clustering. (Using WAN/LAN).

        Thanks for the great product. We have loved using it and love to see how it goes from here.

          This is a great product.  Wished they fixed this issue since these features is mostly used together in production environment.

              There is not even a target version posted on Redmine anymore.
              I wonder if we have to stay with 2.1.5 forever?

                  This Limiter thing on 2.2 is a real downer.  It's beginning to feel like they don't know how to fix it.

                          No, it's still broken obviously as you can see from the bug status.

                            Yeah - I had that, which is why I asked if anyone had ADDITIONAL info, and not "is it fixed yet?" But thanks for playing.

                              After almost 12 months, i am starting to get that vibe to brother. Not sure how long i can hold back on security updates for this bug :/

                                Firewall: Traffic Shaper: Limiter
                                I rebuilt our firewall because the new pfSense broke our traffic shaping rules.
                                After export/import ruleset I still can't get traffic shaping to work on firewall WAN rules.
                                It seems to work fine on outgoing LAN rules though.

                                Any ideas why it stopped working on WAN side?

                                This setup used to work before on incoming traffic, now it breaks the rule if I do this.

                                  I think if you have port forwards on an interface it makes limiters appear like they're completely bypassed. In other situations, interfaces with limiters simply stop passing traffic.

                                  Not sure if that's what you're seeing since "breaks the rule" is not very descriptive.

                                    Yeah - not sure about OP, but for me, "stops passing traffic" is a deal breaker.  :(

                                      I assigned the IN/OUT limiter to LAN interface instead of WAN. It works which (who ever in my PenaltyBox) it served the speed that I set.

                                      But, i have one doubt on the limit. what is the minimum speed to allow for web access? i set 1024kbps/512kbps still not able to but i managed to access youtube and facebook website.

                                        I do not understand precisely what you are asking. Can you rephrase/clarify?

                                          Nice to see that there is a ticket, but this ticket is nearly 1 year old. Is that a bug aswell? I hope to see a fix as sson as possible. :-[

                                            What is the minimum speed to set for website access like espn, BBC, nbc, etc. I found out only when I remove the limiter, it allow these page to load. If I set 1024/512 it doesn't load. The weird thing is it loads YouTube (can play the video) and Facebook (can comment, post pic, etc). Google search also loaded but whenever I click the link, the page failed to load ; with limiter enabled. Tested the speed via speedtest.net it shows as what I set.

                                            I set IN/OUT limiter on LAN interface. Tried on WAN interface, limiter not working.
