Traffic shaper issue with wireless bridged to lan
-
the reason for this is bcoz u never know what port the client might use for torrent as its no more limited to set of ports
-
but, if you only have a couple of services that need higher priority, prioritize those, don't go screwing with the default queues.
-
like u said, i also have no idea what might break changing the wizard rules but according to the web interface, any1 can modify any rule or even create ones as they like so i doubt if any extra settings r stored along with the wizard created queues and rules.
-
well, look, you are getting free help here. if you are not willing to take the advice, good luck to you.
-
whats the reason for being so rude, all that i said is if the wizard were to be used only then y the option to add and remove rules would be there, doesnt make sense so mayb any of the developers need to answer this that modifying the default wizard created rules for traffic shaping affect the shaper in any way, as in break it or no?

Same problem as OP, on an ALIX 2d3 w/ internal WiFi adapter and using PfSense 1.2.3 Final: Wireless traffic on bridged OPT1 to LAN does not seem to get shaped by any of the LAN rules but default using the Traffic Shaper GUI / Wizard.
I can probably fix it manually if there is a way to use 'ANY' interface where the rules choose "LAN"? For example instead of WAN -> LAN I could use WAN -> * except that I can't do that in the GUI. Perhaps I can edit a config file and it'll work that way?
As a test, I coped a bunch of the rules that were LAN -> WAN or WAN -> LAN and replaced the "LAN" setting with the adapter "Opt1WiFi" (my WiFi interface name) and now the WiFi traffic is being shaped as expected. I'm not sure if this is as designed or a problem though but for now it seems to be working OK–but at the very least, it makes rule management a major hassle.

if u set wan to opt and opt to wan then that will work only till a restart.
try switching to 2.0
