Re: [pfSense] Captive Portal: Per-client speed
Hello, You can limit speed by client. I do it by mac address, you can do it by ip address in captive portal by Pass-through MAC or Allowed IP addresses. Personally I use Pass-through MAC with limitation and it work very well. Visibly you can Enable per-user bandwidth restriction in the first tab (Captive portal) For the total limitation I use Traffic Shaper by interfaces the WANx are for upload and LAN if for download. You can put rules for QoS. the first time you can use the Wizard, and modify queues after. The limitations are : - for download you can only limit for total of all connections (I have multi-Wan : 5Wan with 10Mbits (5*10Mbps=50Mbps) so my limit for the LAN queue is 48Mbits), it is recommended to put less than the real bandwidth to never saturate you DSL connexion. - I think it can be interesting to limit to a number of packets by second. Because in DSL (I have test with ADSL in France) a big number of packets increase ping almost if only half of the bandwidth is use. If you have solution for this points don't hesitate !

Web surfing and email by nature are burst traffic so everyone should be happy. Smart phone and tablets are a good match. I serious doubt people are going to be streaming video in a bar so I don't foresee any issues.

Re: [pfSense] Captive Portal: Per-client speed
I think I'll have to write a white paper for it when I'm done. The first test with shaper killed the house network and we had to roll it back. -- Ryan Coleman ryanjc...@me.com m. 651.373.5015 o. 612.568.2749 On Mar 10, 2014, at 10:10, David QuayCendre david.quaycen...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, You can limit speed by client.

To your firewall rule that passes traffic for that network, choose your limiter(s) in the In/Out section. db ___ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
