Re: [pfSense] Is there a would it pass/what-if capability?
Does pfSense have a crowd funding page for projects (I've never seen one)? At the risk of creating more work for someone, having a page that lists something such as project name and description, funding requirement, estimated delivery method and timing once funded along with some buttons to allow contributions via credit card and PayPal funds could go a long way to getting things like this rolling. If it was me, I'd have the start of each potential crowd funded project be a forum and list announcement of a set-time interest survey (say 1 week) that would allow people to express how much money they'd be willing to donate and that would give an idea of the viability of the request as a crowd-funded effort. I wouldn't be surprised if some such open-source web software already exists. I'd definitely be willing to contribute a small amount to such a would it pass/what-if capability to be added to pfSense. While I'm a little surprised that something like this doesn't already exist, given its obvious value, I'd also guess that it'd be a rather involved task.

I was hoping someone, likely the pfSense guys if it didn't already exist, had developed a command/tool that would allow one to ask pf's filtering mechanisms whether this could talk to that via the current config/rules. It seems that this would be not only invaluable for (at least preliminary) testing, but would also be good for admins to check whether they seem to have gotten things configured correctly. Doesn't exist yet, but it's something we've thought about. http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/2771 If someone wants to code it or fund it, it might show up in a release sooner rather than later...

[pfSense] Pfsense router for 13 neighbors
Hello, Currently a friend of mine asked me to help out connecting him and 12 of his neighbors to the same Internet connection. Basically the building buys a decent internet connection and should be shared between them. Now, I set up a few pfsense routers but the traffic shaper still is a bit of a gray area. What I would like to setup is the following: Every apartment get's a network cable and is connected to a switch in the basement. Every port on the switch has a different VLan configured In pfSense, I configure all the VLans as different OPT (Lan) Interfaces, everyone has their own /24 network and DHCP is enabled. Now what I want is that everyone should be able to consume the bandwidth available, but the more people at the same time use the Internet, the more it should get shaped in a fairly manner. If we have a 20mbit/1mbit connection: 2 People surfing, split 10mbit/512kbit if booth do big downloads for example. 10 People surfing, split 2mbit/100kbit if all do big downloads. How would this be done in a fair and especially reliable manner? Shaping? Limiters? ... The other question is, How to assure that browsing the net, skype and gaming (xbox, etc.) get's priority over downloads? Any help will be greatly appreciated, Thank you, Best, Ray ___ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
