      Hello!

      I'd like to limit hosts' traffic quota per day. For example, each host is allowed a 500MB amount of internet traffic per day and, when they reach that limit, they are only able to access www.pfsense.org ;) for the rest of the day.

      Could you, please, help me in how to achieve that?

      Thanks,

          I was able to do that with delay pools in Squid (Squid3, in case HTTPS is considered).
          Just in case anyone wants to know.  ;)

            That only limits web traffic.  Your clients could be pumping out GBs per day through p2p.
