      Hello again guys,i really appreciate the forums help and i love it. So i have a problem. Today i setup traffic shaping using the Wizard and i set lower priority on p2p and bittorrent. How can i put a schedule on the ruleset as i would like it to take effect on only some hours of the day. I would also like to set it to affect only specific ip addresses on my network and not others. Is that possible? Thank you

            There is no way to schedule changes to queue configuration itself but you can configure multiple queues and then schedule different firewall rules to use them.

                If you used the wizard the match rules that put traffic in the queues will be on the floating rules tab.
                Create schedule in Firewall > Schedules. Edit the rule you want it to apply to and set the schedule there in the advanced section.
