Title: Traffic Shaper - Prioritizing Video Streaming
Post by: fearz on October 23, 2024, 08:12:18 AM
Hello,

I have the Traffic Shaper configured on my OPNsense box, but I think its a generic/general setup, no specific setup for say giving higher bandwidth for video streaming or gaming, is there any guide out there or any advice from someone on how to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

In the docs are example of shaper configuration for various things.

https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/shaping.html#configuration-how-tos

If you want to prioritize a certain type of traffic, you can set the policies for shaper aka categorisation/marking per the 5 tuple. Which means you need to know what IPs or Ports or combination, is used for that specific service.
