Dynamic Limiter script for pfsense
-
again rename to a .pl extension. I have not tried it on a pfsense box but think there is a freebsd package for perl rrdtool::oo
-
same instructions as before, this scripts has many improvements, it checks users and the rate for a certain number of times (set to 15 here at 1 second intervals). Then it akes an average and uses this to calculate the limit. Also there are simple switches at the start of the script to turn on and off logging and sending things to the rrd server. Also there is now a log rotate feature tha will keep a certain number of logs and delete older logs.
I use this script in my environment fine and the new way of detecting who is an active user has led to a much better calculation of the limit.
Also the logs look prettier.

Hi just thought I would let all know of the progress, I noticed alot of people asking for a limiting script so this might be helpful
I am working on v4 now which will have a better limiting algorithm and post the stats (users, limit, rate) as an xml file for other monitoring programs to read
