Hello guys,

im new member here, im a network engineer, having few knowledge in mikrotik,
i have an apartment to manage, with 800 tenants and 34 tenants on each floor, all connected to the wireless system

im thinking of using OPNSense to manage the login system with captive portal / radius,
with traffic shaping on each tenant,

already installed opnsense and looking around for a bit, im confused about the traffic shaping parts
all user have to login first before they can use the internet, all tenant on the same /21 subnet

if i want to manage the bandwidth delivery to each tenant, can opnsense  accommodates this issue?
if yes, what should i do?

Greetings,

I just configured bandwidth shaping for several hundred clients and I followed the guest setup from the docs here:

https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/guestnet.html?highlight=captive%20portal

and in Step 6 it refers you here:

https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/shaper.html

which has a section of limiting bandwidth per user. I hope this information assists.

Thank you so much for the information,
ill try this,
