Unsure How to Configure Limiter
-
@knebb:
No way. Only physical interfaces.
Are you sure?
Pretty much, yes. See attached image. There might be a possibility to configure them on virtual interfaces, but this is not possible with the pfSense GUI. And I am not going on the command line (as these settings will be hidden when you do troubleshooting later).

I said firewall rules, not traffic-shaping (which your image shows).
You may need to do some reading about how VPN, firewall rules, and traffic-shaping queues/limiters work together…

Ok, misunderstood.
Still, with firewall rules I can not limit my traffic. I can select it and let it pass or block/ drop it.You may need to do some reading about how VPN, firewall rules, and traffic-shaping queues/limiters work together…
This is exactly where I need help. As I wrote in my initial post I did some reading.
My point is that I do not know why it is not working (where I assume I did some misconfiguration). So what I have is a firewall rule on the LAN interface which matches my traffic (destination host is my backup host). On the advanced options of this rule I configured the In/ Out pipe to use the limiter rules.
The limiter itself is configured for an IN and an OUT pipe where the limits are defined.But still- the backup server consumes 10Mbit/sec instead of configured 1Mbit/s.

Expand the Advanced section and look for In / Out Pipe. This is where you direct traffic into a limiter.

First, confirm about your firewall rule is catching the proper traffic. Once that is confirmed you can begin to deal with where that traffic is assigned (limiters or queues).
Personally, I think limiters are best used for other things, like dynamic sharing among IPs.
Queues, like HFSC, CBQ (with borrowing), or FAIRQ are what I would use here. -
How to read this limiter logs?
Thanks.

Please don't hijack someone else's thread with unrelated stuff. Start a new thread.

Sorry but i think this thread is still related to limiter.
I configure limiter and I don't know how to read this details so I think anyone here can help me about this.Thanks and sorry for this.

Every question in this forum has to do with the shaper or limiter. This post is specifically about how to configure. You want to know how to read a log. Not the same thing. Start your own thread.

Ok. Thank you.
