      Wan Connection: 5mbps
        DL: 600kbps (offpeak)
        UL: 250kbps

      Question?
      Is there a Limiter setup that can evenly balance or limit connection per IP

      Like:

      Bandwidth Balance

      or

      DL 70kbps / IP Limit
      UL 30kbps / IP Limit

      some term in pfsense are not familiar to me, so vast and advance

        Are you trying to limit connections coming in or going out?

          To Control limit or control evenly from PFsense to every IP in my Network to avoid abuse of bandwidth like downloading and streaming..

          650kb is my download speed when File and streaming download speed on Off-Peak use and pulled down to 400kb during Peak.

          250kb is my upload

          Im doing this just to learn simple/basic traffic shaping..

            I don't know about changing the values based on a time schedule but the method foxale08 documented works well for evenly sharing bandwidth among LAN ip's.

            Read this thread:

            That one really needs to be pinned at top.

                I used to be using a router w/ QoS, and can stream smoothly the net by just using 70kbps max download speed but when I switch to Pfsense for some reason (some reason that my router dont have that feature inside) the 70kbps is not smooth and slow.. thats why im researching for many days now to make this pfsense bandwidth limiter work just like the 70kbps on my router..

                Maybe this may work

                ISP(NET) xxx.xxx.0.1 >> PFsense (lan ruled, custom rule enabled) xxx.xxx.10.1 >> Router (bandwidth, wifi) xxx.xxx.2.1 >> LAN Clients (PC and Wifi devices) xxx.xxx.2.2~254

                If u have some shaper limit settings to make it work.. Maybe it may work
