Tutorials and FAQs / how to setup traffic shaper for gaming

« on: October 30, 2019, 01:05:01 am »

Hi I am looking for some guidance on how to setup traffic shaper. I  am trying to give my son's gaming PC preference over the bandwidth for things like gears of war, xbox live, fortnite etc. Other things that are concurrently running sometimes in the home from our other family members are Netflix, youtube etc. I know that in PF Sense, you can select the different gaming platforms/games/gaming servers in the traffic shaper menu/wizard etc. OPN sense seems to be lacking options for this type of setup. I would greatly appreciate any help!

Tutorials and FAQs / XBOX Cpnsole and XBOX PC App connectivity

« on: February 06, 2019, 08:15:44 pm »

Can someone help me get my xbox console and Xbox pc app to stop using strict NAT. I was using an apple router before this with static IP's for all my devices and port fowarding for each device. I have done all that same stuff in OPNSense and it still isn't working. I have read through google searches that you have to have UPNP enabled, and have also read that you should absolutely not have it enabled. I installed the os-upnp plugin and ticked the enable boxes and still nothing. I'm brand new to this software and built this new OPNSense Router on the recommendation of a friend.  My whole reason for doing this is because i really just want to use traffic shaper. I dont have any intention of ever managing an enterprise network. It is just my home network with a plex server and a few computers and an xbox. iphones, ipads etc. I have plex successfully setup and forwarded along with my usenet applications as well. This is the last piece of the puzzle at least for now. I would really appreciate any help that could be offered.
