We're trying to use the pfSense traffic shaping feature known as the Penalty Box. We are interested in limiting the bandwidth of a particular IP to 2%.
Note: There is a four-year-old bug in pfSense where you have the option to select other limiting options besides a percentage (e.g. kbit/s
, bit/s
, Mbit/s
). But selecting any option other than %
results in an error. Ideally I would have limited this one IP to 1 bit/s
.
After the rules have been created/applied, the penalized IP is taking the majority of the link (e.g. 80%), rather than 2%:
How do I use the pfSense Penalty Box feature to limit the bandwidth of a particular IP?
The issue is that it consistently takes too much bandwidth, starving other (non-penalized) IP addresses.
