I am trying to distribute traffic evenly per IP on the network. I have seen an implementation of this using monowall with a simple check-box for distributing bandwidth evenly, but since monowall is discontinued I am resorting to pfSense or Opnsense. With pfSense it doesn't seem to be working properly and there is a latency when applying firewall rules to do the job. Also Opnsense is very similar to pfSense since it is a fork of it so I don't see a working solution. Does anyone know how this can be done using pfSense or Opnsense?

You can use the Firewall > Traffic Shaper > Wizards option to do this. I don't recommend dedicating even bandwidth to each user since they don't use the connection at the same time constantly wherein if a user is idle then you are wasting bandwidth at their idle time. Managing priorities on protocols and applications while penalizing abusers is enough.

  • I need traffic distribution for the people using the connection but distributed evenly across the users, not a static distribution. – WMRamadan Jun 26 '18 at 23:25

    You can user limiter in the advanced section for Firewall floating rules, set an IN and OUT limiter but it must be set to each IP. Using an Alias will set the limiter as a total to the whole alias. – Tonel Daclan Jun 28 '18 at 05:03
