[solved]how to restrict bandwidth usage of site-to-site vpn ?

heper

Hi,

I have 2 location each running pfsense. 1.2.3 at site A , RC2 build of june 18th at site B
SITE A: tunnel client
SITE B: tunnel server

The openvpn tunnel is up and running without issues… an interface is created for the openvpn tunnel.
I wish to cap the total bandwidth used over the vpn to 512Kbit/s

I've tried using the traffic shaping wizard multiwan/multilan and then cloning the wan queues to the openvpn interface.

This seems to have no effect.

Could someone point me in the right direction please. Do i need to create firewall rules to use the queues ?

kind regards

jeroen

You can use limiters for this.

Thanks ermal, limiters work as you said

i've added this floating rule on the vpn-server end:

dir: in
dest: 10.10.10.0/24 (subnet of client-lan)
in/out: limit_in / limit_out

pfsense is great ;)
