      Greetings to all from a new user pfSense.

      I'm trying to find a solution to my problem, sorry if I am wrong to write in this section for this problem:

      I have a local network in which there are multiple DVRs that go to outside via a public IP address with a traditional ADSL. I would like to create rules that I allow me to limit incoming traffic in ADSL / WAN to achievement a maximum time limit or mb max, for example:

      DVR1: external port 8081 - 50mb/day or 10min/day
      DVR2: external port 8082 - 100mb/day or 20min/day
      DVR3: external port 8083 - 20mb/day or 5min/day

      Each DVR has its own socket public (xx.xxx.xx.xx: 8081/8082/8083) and as you can see the DVR have different limits between them. I would like to accomplish this without doing any authentication of any kind, but simply limit the traffic at the ports used according to certain rules.

      Is it possible? What do I need? Thanks to all

          there aren't any cumulative bandwidth limit controls like that available.

          You might be able to do something like that with captive portal using MAC authentication against a RADIUS server, but it's not possible using only built-in features.
