Hallo,
I followed the instructions on https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/shaper_share_evenly.html :
I want to shape evenly only the Upload, a network test shows a Upload of about 10-12 Mbit/s so I wanted to create a maximum of 8 Mbit/s Upload:
Pipe:

Queue:

Rule:

Traffic Report:
(https://seidel.next-cloud.org/index.php/s/yJR4xHixmWCL683/preview)
As you can see in the Traffic Report, it seems to have no affect, although the "top hosts" preview shows one host with 8 Mbit/s. The upload in totla is about 10 Mbit/s coming from one machine with 2 upload jobs to VPN and slowing down the whole network.
What am I doing wrong?
I do mine differently, maybe simpler:
1) download pipe mask I set to be 'destination' so each client can use up to 8mbit, otherwise you are wasting the bandwith over this value as it cant be used.
2)I dont use queues
3) In rule I set source any and destination any. I also set target to the name of my pipe I specified in 1).
This allows each client up to the bandwith I specified in 1). Maybe start with that and when thats working add complexity on top as you go.
