General Discussion / Give priority (not bandwidth limit) to desktop PC
« on: July 28, 2022, 11:37:08 pm »
What I want to achieve is giving priority on the internet connection to the PC I play games on. Many commercial routers have that function (giving priority to gaming devices) so I guess it should be somehow possible in opnsense.
I tried the suggested solution I found here, making 2 pipes (up-down) 4 queues (90%up-90%down-10%up-10%down) and assigning the local ips with rules: Desktop PC gets the 90%up and 90%down and everything else the 10% ones.
This works, but it just limits the bandwidth to 90-10 split. I could do that with netlimiter, no need to mess on opnsense... That means even when another device uses very little bandwidth, it still gets priority and I have packet loss in games. I tried CoDel and PIE, no difference.
Any help or guidance is appreciated, thanks in advance.

22.1 Legacy Series / Traffic shaper broken (even just setting a pipe gets ignored)
« on: June 17, 2022, 04:34:52 pm »
I wanted to give priority to my main PC. My connection is 100mbps so I started with a pipe of 100mbps, then 2 queues with 90 and 10 weight respectively, then 2 rules: the 90 queue to my main PC ip and the 10 to my laptop ip. I thought i was good to go, but running speedtest on both computers simply gives priority to the one that started first. Downloading same file just splits the bandwidth, so the shaper doesn't work.
After many tries, I decided to just start by setting a simple pipe (no queues or rules), and to my surprise no matter what bandwidth I set there (I even tried 1 bit/s...) I get the full bandwidth of my connection on speedtest.
Is traffic shaper broken? Do I need to enable it somehow? What am I missing?
I am not an expert, but shouldn't there be an option to select the interface (WAN in my case) and upload or download on each pipe?
I have seen other guides setting up 2 pipes for download and upload, how does opnsense know which one is for which?
Thans in advance for any help.
