PFSense. Basic Traffic Shaping using Limiters to limit upload/download speed on interface

okay traffic shaping on pfsense interface why would you need to do that for example you have guest wi-fi and you want to limit speed for guests to something lower so they don't consume all your bandwidth and the easiest way to do it is to go by interface you choose the interface if it's like wireless interface a special network or special vlan but basically first you go here to traffic shaper it was right here firewall traffic shaper and you can go by interface you can use special limiters of wizard we're going to do limiters which is the easiest way and you enable it you can name it for example limit in so inbound speed it's gonna be i don't know 20 meg per second and you can also use schedules if you want to for example if you want 9 to 5 to be normal speed and other time fast speed all right this is one limiter let's create one more and we're gonna name it limit out and uh going to be outbound let's do 15 for example the same mix per second and that's it we're just going to do basic traffic shaping let's see what our speed now without any limitation i have over 100 say 180 for download and upload is from upload yeah over 100 as well and then after we're gonna implement our limiters on this interface and see what's going to happen so we're going to go to firewall rules select an interface beyond we are going to edit a rule okay advanced in out pipe limit in limit out then save apply changes by the way you see this little gear showed up it wasn't here before it just shows that advanced settings were applied and kind of tells us what settings were there let's see if it changed anything here yeah yeah different story different world welcome to the slow world and upload show me upload yeah yeah it works it works it's a success
