      hey im new to the forum.

      i setup a limiter for all clients on my network, and im having troubles excluding 3-4 devices from the rule, i read somewhere to create a rule above the limiter rule and set high limits for the specific ip's, but everything i try end up just blocking internet to those devices all together

      if someone could point me in the right direction would be great and very appreciated

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

          sorry, so basically i just tried the same thing as i did when i created the limiter for the network, but in these limiters i just set up and down to 1gbs, and in the firewall rule, i just specified a single ip. I couldn't find a whole lot of information when i was trying to google it.

          thank you

            192.168.0.49/31 covers IP addresses 192.168.0.48 and 192.168.0.49. (You probably want to specify 192.168.0.48/31 for clarity instead)

            Just enable that rule and remove the limiters on it. Those two source IP addresses will not be limited.

            And instead of a special limiter rule, just delete that and add the limiters to the default rule.
