How to give priority to only 1 IP address
-
We run pfsense in a Church setting We have limited bandwidth (40 down 3 up) on a good day. We also have very little cellular connection so every ones phones jump to our wifi for wifi calling, texting, updates etc.
Before long we are getting hi RTT time and RTTSD time (jumps from 18-25 ms to over 1000 then the WAN goes offline.
We need to give priority access to our main computer by IP address over all others to do a facebook live stream.
Can someone help us make just 1 static local internal IP have priority above all others? It would be a big help as we cannot live stream when all the others are on equal footing for bandwidth.
Please someone help, Thank you

@georgeberz Quick and dirty way.
Setup a limiter with limited bandwidth for downstream (low enough so is enough left over for main computer).
Do another limited for upstream, again setting it low enough so is some spare.Go to your rules, add rule that goes out off your network, allow all traffic, source IP for the main PC. Make sure is above the default allow rule.
Edit the default allow rule to use your new limiters(pipes). Make sure you put in the correct way. If its LAN rule, outbound limiter goes in left box, inbound right. Can also do this in floating.

And before you test the limiter u have to kill all states
