Hi All i am running a pfsense firewall , i have one little (from my point of view) issue , i have 2 users taking almost 60% of my bandwidth (both web designers so they kinda like need it but am sure they are abusing ). i have setup squid on transparent mode and everytime i try to use the traffic shaper (they used to work) to limit the whole system to like 1 mb , some how the system finds a way after a while to burst the speeds , so my question is
1. can i limit this 2 guys to a bandwidth set ... wanganane na ka 512 Kbps 2. Whats cutting with my shaper? can i use it to limit instead of blocking? 3.

Penalty Box If you have one or more hosts on your network that are using most of the bandwidth you can place them in a "penalty box" to limit their usage to a certain percentage of available bandwidth. As in the previous setting if you need to list more than one host you will need to create an alias. So now what I am saying is that you need to understand about Aliases in pfSense and work with them. 1. Yes - use Penalty box 2. Shaper is not supposed to be used for blocking. How is your implementation of the shaper? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 "I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler."
