Normal firewall rules are only ingress, they can check source and dest from a packing coming in to the interface. I limit both upload and download of clients. Limiters: UPLOAD: Some Limit Set Mask: Source Address Bits: 32 and 128 DOWNLOAD: Some Limit Set Mask: Destination Address Bits: 32 and 128 pfsense firewall rule: Pass some source address Advanced Settings: In / Out pipe: UPLOAD FIRST DOWNLOAD SECOND It it would take matched traffic from a firewall rule and put it in the limiter. I have not tried using egress rules but with the any directive all traffic to and from the system gets limited. _______________________________________________ pfSense mailing list https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list Support the project with Gold! https://pfsense.org/gold
