      Hi All,
      I have moved to pfSense after using IPCop for about 3 years. I quite like the program and interface, seems much more modern than IPCop. To install pfSense onto my firewall box ( a fitpc v1) I had to use the newest developer ISO so that I could boot from the USB cdrom. I then downgraded to the stable version. However when I try to setup the traffic shaper at the end of the configuration it says:
      There were error(s) loading the rules: pfctl: upper-limit larger than interface bandwidth/tmp/rules.debug:23: errors in queue definition pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded - The line in question reads [ upper-limit larger than interface bandwidth /tmp/rules.debug]: …
      I cannot see where I change the upper limit and the interface bandwith unless I am missing something.
      I appriciate any help with this issue.
      Thanks,
      Michael

        Feeling very stupid at the moment, the reason this message was displayed was due to the fact that I was putting in the lan and WAN P2P catch-all restrictions in the wrong way round. Thats what I get for not reading things thoroughly.
        However now that I have set this correctly I cannot view the queues at all. After the filters are reloaded and I click the option to view queue status a single queue shows and then the whole pfSense gui becomes unresponsive for about 10-15 minutes. If I do not use the P2P catch all setting then this problem does not occur.
        Does anybody have any ideas?
        Thanks,
        Michael
