How do pfSense rules work?

In pfSense® software, rules on interface tabs are applied on a per-interface basis, always in the inbound direction on that interface. This means traffic initiated from the LAN is filtered using the LAN interface rules. Traffic initiated from the Internet is filtered with the WAN interface rules.

What is traffic shaping?

Traffic shaping (also known as packet shaping) is bandwidth management technique that delays the flow of certain types of network packets in order to ensure network performance for higher priority applications. It is primarily used to ensure a high quality of service for business-related network traffic.

What is the traffic shaping system in pfSense?

For simplicity, the traffic shaping system in pfSense® software may also be referred to as the “shaper”, and the act of traffic shaping may be called “shaping”. There are two types of QoS available in pfSense software: ALTQ and Limiters. The ALTQ framework is handled through pf and is closely tied to network card drivers.

How are shaper rules handled in pfSense?

In pfSense software, shaper rules are mostly handled on the Floating tab using the Match action that assigns the traffic into queues, but rules on any interface can assign traffic into queues using the Pass action. Limiter rules are handled differently.

What is an ALTQ shaper in pfSense?

Limiters are the only type of shaper available in pfSense software which is capable of oversubscription in this manner. The ALTQ shaper requires all child queues to sum up to no more than the speed of the parent queue, but masked limiters allow a set limit to as many IP addresses as can be funneled through the limiter by firewall rules.

What is a limiter in pfSense?

Limiters are currently the only way to achieve per-IP address or per-network bandwidth rate limiting using pfSense® software. Limiters are also used internally by Captive Portal for per-user bandwidth limits. Limiters are managed at Firewall > Traffic Shaper on the Limiters tab.
