Traffic Shaper: Limiter
-
Rate-limiting should only affect how quickly a page loads, not whether the page will load or not load.
It seems like you are encountering a limiter's bug or an unrelated bug.
OK. Let say a page should be fully loaded in 10 seconds with total size of 100 mb of data. So it takes around 10 seconds if i set 10mbps. So if I set it less than that, it will takes more time to load. Let say I set 1mbps, it should take 100 seconds or if I set 512kbps then it should take around 200 seconds to get fully loaded. What makes me wondering why page like Facebook and YouTube can be loaded (play video, read comments, etc) when my limit is 1mbps but not other pages. Not even landed to that address except YouTube and Facebook. Only these so far is accessible with the limiter. Weird.
Anyway. Thank you for your respond!

It breaks at ipv6 address. That explained my situation
2.2.6-RELEASE (amd64)

High priority bug that has broken a key function in pfSense firewall has been unsolved for over a year now.
No proposals how to fix it. No descriptions on what actually broke, why it broke and what could be the best paths to solving the problem.
What is going on here? My faith in you is fading. Is this how you usually deal with High priority bugs? Who dares to take responsibility for this?

Theres a workaround for squid with limiter But it breaks NAT reflection :(

I hear you. I'm eagerly waiting for this and https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/4405 to be finally addressed so I can start using the traffic shaper again. Hopefully 2.3.2 is going to be it.

Not fixed yet. https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/4326
Target version changed from to 2.2.4.
Done: 0% -
Is there another way to limit the bandwidth on each computer separately? as similar as to Limiter of <traffic shaper="">.
PfSense 2.3</traffic> -
Depends on how many computers/devices. HFSC allow up to 15 or 16 queues.

PfSense 2.3</traffic>If you created an HFSC queue for each IP and assign each queue the same (anything, it just needs to be the same; "1Kbit" for example) link-share bandwidth, and it would work almost exactly like your previous setup with limiters/ipfw.

lol, actually it's 2048 at the moment. Close though… ::)

https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/RELENG_2_3_1/sys/contrib/altq/altq/altq_hfsc.h#L53Whole crap! Nice to know. I read something somewhere that said 16 was used because of computational costs, but maybe that was old or didn't apply to the FreeBSD implementation.

I know! FreeBSD defaults to 64. 2048 though… I like how pfSense plays. ;D
I kinda thought it was limited to ~16 because that is the highest priority in ALTQ. Of course, that means nothing in itself.

Hi, thanks Nullity and Harvy66…. this worked. It's not as practical like the limiter but it works too.
