      Hi,

      This is a topic that I have struggled with for hours and I need some help.

      I have a 30/10 connection that I want to traffic shape. I also have a few VLAN's, and one that I use for my NAS. It works great with the wizard for the Internet connection, but the wizard also traffic shape data going between my "lan" and my NAS VLAN. So I get terrible speeds to my NAS.

      Are there any things I can do to make it ignore inter VLAN traffic? How? I have googled and watched youtube videos, but found no solution.

        @frodet I have a similar situation. The way I did it was to set the LAN interface speed in the traffic shaper to 1Gbps (since it's a local ethernet connection) and then have one queue for local traffic, and one for internet traffic. Set your internet queue bandwidth to 30Mbps, your download speed, and then give the link queue whatever is left over. If you use HFSC for the interface, you can set the upper limit curve on your internet queue and then create child queues for specific types of internet traffic that will share that bandwidth, but never exceed it.

          @racing_shadows Thanks for sharing. I did not find anywhere to set bandwidth for a que, just the interface. Also, I use PRIQ.
