Solved – Limitation of bandwidth to each computer by ip - how ?

[marvosa]

Firewall -> Traffic Shaper -> Limiter tab

@marvosa:

Firewall -> Traffic Shaper -> Limiter tab

Then you need to assign or make rule for that ip like this

[Mr. Jingles]

Might I jump in to ask a question that relates to this? Is the following possible:

• My download server gets unlimited download unless my wife or me are using the internet;

• Then the download server is automatically capped off during that time, and gets full bandwith again if neither my wife nor me are using the internet.

The reason I ask is: currently I have to restrict the server bandwith manually in the morning (on the server self), and cancel that restriction at night (so it can download at full speed while we are sleeping).

Sometimes my wife is up earlier than I am (so she will suffer from not having sufficient bandwith since that hasn't been restricted yet), the other times I simply forget to do it (and when I come home I meet an angry mrs.  :-[).

Would this be possible?

Thank you in advance for any reply  ;D

Hi Firefox:

No worries, just watch this video –> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Usi195rK35I
Hope this solves your problem!

Many thanks
It works
Now anyone in my family can do what he wants on his computer without choke the line

Little question
The video is showing how to add the restrictions on the IP address

Where should select Line-in \ line-out
In the video he shows to choose first line-out \ Line-in

I tried it both ways
the option in the video work Excellent

So I guess it's only mistake of the Web page PFSENSE

In the video he shows to choose first line-out \ Line-in

see the above picture that I posted line out is the first thing to put on rule ,

You can use the traffic shaper to lower the priority of the protocol (bit torrent?) being used by your download server. Whenever any other traffic is present on your network during the day (you and/or your wife surfing, checking email, etc.), the download server throughput is suppressed. At night, when nothing else is using your bandwidth, the server gets full access.
