      I didnt participate in the initial bounty. But after I read what Eri did I was really impressed. Therefore I will donate a small amount. As I am a Student I would like to donate more but right now I cant.
      I sent $25 to paypal@chrisbuechler.com before. My e-mail address starts with teclis

      Thanks.

        I really want to thank everybody who is donating money for this, even if it's only a small amount. We really appreciate it and all the traffic shaper changes are really worth it. It's not trivial to implement and Ermal is doing a great job! Thanks everybody and thanks Ermal.  :)

          Just send:
          U hebt $75,00 USD verstuurd naar paypal@chrisbuechler.com. Er is een e-mail gestuurd naar de ontvanger.

          Yeah I know this is dutch  ;D

          enyway send $75,00 as bounty for this cool program.

          Thx already for the great job.

          Note:
          This bounty thing you have here is indeed a bit messy.
          See this bounty for traffic shaping, aftera while ppl walk away, whey find other programs or other solutions.

          It would be wise to have a part on this forum with only can be edit by mod's & Admin's.
          Wen someone ask something and offer a bouty for it then the PFSense crew first look what it must cost in total.
          How much hours work and effort it cost etc etc..
          Then you make in that seperate part an own bounty toic for this question with the total amound money it minimun must cost.
          Ppl can send in money and the moment the first buck come in the PFSense crew start making this new plugin.

          So the writing from the program and the money what comes in walks hand by hand. ( more or less)
          Becouse you see how much is coming in already and how far the program is.

          This way you can announce in this special topic the progres from writing the software so ppl can how far you are.
          ( not ad daily basis afcourse) but now and then, some sort progres meter or so.

          This wil stimulate ppl to pay and the is some sort deadline from expectation wen it is ready for launce.

          Now on this bounty ( or most other bounty's on this forum) it was very misty how and what was going on.
          and yes ppl walk away then because there happen nothing…

          BTW just my 2 pence

          enyway thx again for the great job.

            I think, it takes a lot of confidence, for both sides, but also i think, you don´t know, how this bounty has been materialized  ;)

              I am already for a while on this forum but post not much becouse I want to figger things out for myself.

              enyway.
              I read a lot here aboud this and other bounty's and the devellopping from such bounty.

              See also ppl say:
              Wen it can do this and that I pledge $75.

              Se there is some need to inform how much $ is needed for such bounty, how much amound of $ went in, how far the progres from the new software is, and what it can or cannot do.

              With this knowledge ppl wil pay or wil not pay, simple as that.

              The team make the software wen money come's in,
              And not how it happen now on pledge, because this is no stable base where you can count on.

              I can pledge a 100 000 but wen I dont pay that is the end..

              So only thing I wanna say is good information and wen pay they make things.
              This wil  run smooth and good, and you wil see no more trouble or confusion.

                          I have just a few questions, and would be willing to donate a few hundered dollars to get a copy of this feature earlier than waiting for 1.3, but I need to make sure it will work in my environment. Attached is a small JPEG outlining the setup I want to use this feature for. I would love to be able to use it in bridge mode (between just two nics), if I can do two things (This is planned for the whole pipe):

                          1. Standard QoS - RDP, VoIP, and OpenVPN Traffic taking all priorities, and all others at a lower priority. I am confident this is included with this release. (I have VoIP Traffic running over the OpenVPN, but as I understand this thread, we will be able to shape this as well if we want to.) Right now, if I just shape the OpenVPN to take priority, then that will take care of VoIP.

                          2. Traffic Limiting - Being able to limit traffic (down to 3mbit instead of 10mbit) based on source IP or MAC Address. The picture attached, might explain this better, but in essence, I want to limit the tenants firewalls in our building. Total bandwith incoming and outgoing, and if that is not an option, at least give priority to source IPs.

                          If someone with better knowledge than I of what this new shapper is capable of could reply to this message and explain if these features are avaliable with this release, I will then be able to find out what my company is willing to send.

                          Thanks again!

                            @NateDavis:

                            Yes, you can do this.

                            Yes you can do this too. Seems like CBQ is a good candidate for your needs.

                              ermal,

                              Thanks for your quick response. If I were able to donate $200 today, Is there an upgrade to update my new pfSense box I can get within the next week, or are we still out a little more time?

                              Let me know,
                              Thanks,

                                      I have just discovered this thread and bounty, and would like to know if this would allow me to do the following and I would be very happy to send a payment of $100

                                      I have 2 WAN, 1 of the WAN's is for use by DMZ VOIP only, and the other is for my LAN.

                                      I am planning to get another WAN DSL.

                                      I would really like to be able to have:

                                      LAN Machine 1 <> WAN 1  with shaping for giving priority based on protocols etc
                                      LAN Machine 2 <> WAN 2  with shaping for giving priority based on protocols etc
                                      DMZ VOIP <> WAN3  with shaping for giving priority based on protocols etc

                                      Would also be nice to send certain traffic from LAN to WAN3 to be shaped etc.

                                      Is this possible, sorry I a bit confused.

                                      Thanks

                                      Lee

                                        That's the bounty requirement and it is fulfilled.

                                        As for the other parts those are rfeatures that pfSense supports already.
