      Hello everyone,

      I’m running basic pfsense v2.1.4 and I would like to schedule speed limit when my kids go to bed so they they won’t get patients for slow speed like at 0.2 to 0.3kb/s for internet but full speed for LAN only so my kids can check the video surveillance

      Schedule at 8pm to 6am at maybe 0.2kb/s, during day time full speed

      Can you help me and guide the step to step and will use mac address (IP been reserved on their mac address)

      Also I'm consider if schedule can block facebook during that time and how to do?

      Thanks
      Roberto

        I haven't done what you're trying to do before, but you would first create a schedule via Firewall - Schedules. Next, create the limiters via Firewall - Traffic Shaper - Limiter to limit in/out traffic to the speed you want.  Lastly, you would create a firewall rule that uses your schedule (Firewall - Rules - (edit your rule) - Advanced features - Schedule) and targets your kids IP addresses, directing their traffic to the limiter (Firewall - Rules - (edit your rule) - Advanced features - In/Out).
