      Hello guys.

      I have a problem and I still can't identify the source. When I apply a limiter, eg 10up/100down, I can't browse the client anymore, it's like all the packets are dropped by the filter. I'll post the screens for better understanding, but I believe I'm doing everything right. I don't have squid running on the machine, just packet filtering by common rules. I'm using version 2.6.0-RELEASE (amd64). Thanks if anyone can shed some light on what's going on.

        Same here. I discover if i set only IN pipe and choose none for OUT PIPE, it works and limit the client upload, but if i then choose OUT PIPE, it totally block the client access to everything, included pfsense webgui.
        FOLLOWING UP.

              @robsonvitorm I'm having the same issue in my firewall. For some reason the limiters are not aplying to any of the interfaces. Have you found any workaround yet ? ๐Ÿ˜•

                  @abel406 Not yet. From what I've read, the problem has been fixed in the paid version of pfsense and in development versions. However, no release forecast for the stable version.

                    They must test deeper and should release fixes to CE also.

                        @noplan Thanks, but i don't have a credit card or VAT number to subscribe, so i can't download it either. Have you downloaded a version for home or lab that could/would share ?

                          @abel406 Are you using Captive Portal? See
                          https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12954
                          "Traffic using Limiters created by the captive portal is sent to dummynet by ipfw and passes correctly."

                          Plus is not available as a separate download. One upgrades from CE. I have not gone through the process but does it require a card for the $0 product? (you mentioned home/lab usage)

                          Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                          When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                                @abel406 I can't speak for the EU or other entities but the license is zero cost. VAT would seem to not apply. But I'm a tech, not an accountant.

                                  I'm not from US so why does it ask only for US States ?

                                    @abel406 It should ask for Country of Origin, but if you are in a country where there is an embargo you might not be able to purchase even the gratis license.

                                    I recommend emailing sales@netgate.com for assistance on this.

                                        @rcoleman-netgate For some extrange reason, pfsense plus is blocking remote access to the PCs in my network, i guess that's one of the handycaps of using it for home or lab enviroments, but there's no comment about this in de documentation.

                                          That's not a thing. I suggest starting a new thread about what isn't working, if it's not limiter related?
