      We have a nextcloud server in the DMZ (behind a NAT-Portforwarding) and want to limit external users to not fully use up the 16 MBit/s DSL line when they download hosted files.
      Internal users in LAN should have full speed, sure.

      We tried apache-bandwidth-control with nearly no success.

      Now we consider solving this on pfsense.

      QoS is already used for VOIP on LAN and WAN, I assume we could solve this by setting/using (a) limiter(s)?

      As I haven't used these before I am searching for a good example or howto, got a bit lost browsing the many forum pages  … maybe someone has a good pointer?

      EDIT (SOLVED?):

      I think I got it.

      Defined 2 Limiter-Queues along https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=114569.msg637004#msg637004
      Then assigned them to the NAT-Rule on the WAN-interface.

      First tests look good.
      Is my solution correct?

        It's correct if it solves the problem without introducing any new problems.  Have a read of this as well:
