      hello everyone.

      i just set up my new pfsense, my clients are usually using games and my problem is their latency..specially in dota2 they get 1000+ pings and that gives me headache while their browsing speed is normal by giving a limit of 512 kb per ip..while their game is 1mb to 1.256mb per ip..my full bandwidth is 10mb.. ia am using class rule of hfsc..

      my quiestion is how can i have a lower latency for gaming..my specs is amd64 dual core realtek fast ethernet for wan and built in gigabit nic card for lan..1gb ram..

      thank you for your comments and suggestions in advance sir..

          Here's my HFSC setup. Seems to be working great for me. You may need to tweak some of your percentages. I have a 50/50 with dedicated bandwidth, so many values are set to cover my gaming needs.
