      Hi,

      Just want to ask if pfsense or any package can limit bandwidth usage (not speed) per user. Like for example: 2gb bandwidth per day limit. After user have used up 2gb bandwidth it will block the user from using internet.

        Not easily. Possibly with Captive Portal and RADIUS accounting and bunch of scripts around.

          Just as a future reference, bandwidth is a data rate, which means it is a "speed". What you're concerned about is "data usage".

            Linux iptables supports traffic quotas, so a Linux-based router/firewall distribution like IPFire, ClearOS, or VyOS is probably what you want.

            Please correct any obvious misinformation in my posts.
