<![CDATA[Enabling limiter kills pfsense traffic]]>Hello,

I'm having an odd issue where if I enable a limiter it kills all traffic going to and through the pfsense firewall.  I can actually create the limiter and save it, but once I enable it all traffic to/from/through the box dies.  The only thing I'm doing is giving the limiter a name and then inputting the bandwidth.  By the time I save it and apply the changes I can't access the pfsense box in order to assign the limiters to a rule.  I have to plug a keyboard in and issue pfctl -d, then log in through the web gui, then disable/delete the limiter rules.  Any idea why this is going on?

Thanks.

It sounds like a bug of some kind. I have spend all weekend trying out different things with the limiter. Creating and deleting limiters over and over and I have had no problem doing that.

Limiteres first really come to use after beeing assigned to a firewall rule. Therefore it is even more weird that your box messes up just after a limiter has been created.

Suggestion:
Time to do a restore to factory defaults and try again?

Good luck with your project.
Anders
