Bridge and traffic shaping
-
Hi,
I'm new to pfsense and I want to configure a L2 Bridge as a traffic shaper. Currently I'm testing the setup with this simple network using the latest stable pfsense 64Bit.
–--Internet-----

| 16Mbit Down / 1Mbit Up

| ADSL |
| Router |
+--------+
| <- WAN Interface (em0)
+--------+
| Pfsense| Bridge Interface LAN/WAN OPT2 (em0/bge0)
+--------+
| <- LAN Interface (bge0)
+----------+
| DD-WRT |
+----------+
| Wifi

| Laptop |
+----------+To test the traffic shaping I have used the Wizard for multiple WAN and single LAN. I have chosen one WAN and configured bit torrent with a bandwidth limit of 200kbit/s. However, this is not working. By default the Wizard chooses the WAN interface which I guess is correct and I enter my download speed with 100% and my upload with 97%. I have followed this guide:
