Hello to all! I'm a Debian desktop user, and I want to limit all outgoing traffic from my laptop to a certain value, but after setting everything up, I can't get it to work. I don't really need a firewall, because my modem has a simple one, so the idea here is only limiting the downlink speed system-wide. What I've done so far:
1. Install the Debian packages, and run "sudo vuurmuur_conf". 2. Create an interface called "Wireless", with my IP address in the LAN, which is "192.168.0.5", and device "wlan0". 3. Press F6, enable shaping "[X]", set bandwidth to "3 mbit". 4. Create a zone called "Zone". 5. Create a network called "Network", set network and netmask to "0.0.0.0". 6. Press F6, select the interface "Wireless". 7. Create a rule "Accept", log "[ ]", service "any", from "firewall", to "any". 8. Press F6, set both incoming guaranteed and maximum rates to "30 kbps", and both outgoing guaranteed and maximum rates to "10 kbps", set priority to "3". 9. Vuurmuur Config > General > Tc location "/sbin/tc". 10. Remove ip_queue from /etc/init.d/vuurmuur, because the module doesn't exist. 11. Enable the service in /etc/default/vuurmuur. 12. Run "sudo service vuurmuur start". Well, after all this, "Status" and "Connections" show information about my connection, and "Traffic Volume" doesn't but, more importantly, I did some downloads at 3mbit, and nothing changed (was not limited to 30kbps). I have not much experience in networking, so the steps I followed were just as vuurmuur_conf would tell me something was missing. Network and Netmask I set to "0.0.0.0" because I googled and came up with this, but I don't really know what should go there! Thank you for your attention!
