    Hi all,
    I want to limit bandwidth for my children (speed and data cap) so i created users in freeradius and hooked it up with my unifi ap's but it doesn't work. I don't want them to go through Captive Portal so i've put them on a network without it. With CP it does work - but not on a network without CP. Is there a possibility to do that without CP?

    To clarify- i set up bandwidth limits on users in freeradius- Amount of Download and Upload Traffic, Maximum Bandwidth Down and Maximum Bandwidth Up.

      No. The captive portal part of that is what allows pfSense to know which users are connected.

      You might be able to do it using 802.1x authentication at the APs. That's not something I've ever tried.
