Traffic Shaping on Network with OpenVPN Client
-
I need some advice on how to setup traffic shaping on my network.
I am running PfSense version 2.2.6
My internet connection is 70 Mbits Down and 7 Mbits up.
I would like to use CODEL for its simplicity, but am open to other recommendations.
My router has the following interfaces.
LAN
WAN
OPT1 (OpenVPN Client to VPN provider)I have my firewall set to send internet traffic for my Roku hosts through the WAN interface. All other hosts internet traffic goes through the OPT1 interface.
Would I be correct in configuring the LAN for CODEL and set the bandwidth to 60. Then configuring the OPT1 for CODEL and set the bandwidth to 6? (I am setting to less bandwidth to account for fluctuations in the quality of the service.)
Should I do any shaping on the WAN interface? It would seem, at least to me, that putting a traffic shaper on the WAN interface might cause issues with the VPN traffic? Is that a correct assumption?
What about the traffic going out the LAN interface to the Rokus? That traffic would be shaped, but the traffic (mostly acknowledgments I guess) going through the WAN would not be. Could that cause any problems with the traffic competing with what is going out through OPT1?
