Speed limits

The Speed limits page applies bandwidth caps by source address. These limits are evaluated against the address a session connects from. Per user limits are set separately on the user, not here.

Speed limits list

The list

Each configured limit is shown as a row with three columns:

  • Source: the IP address or CIDR network the limit applies to.
  • Download: the download cap, shown as a value in KB/s or as Unlimited.
  • Upload: the upload cap, shown as a value in KB/s or as Unlimited.

When no limits exist, the list shows a "No speed limits" message.

Adding a limit

Use the Add limit button in the page header to open the editor.

The dialog has the following fields:

Source

An IP address or a CIDR network the limit applies to. The value is validated; an invalid entry is rejected with a message asking for a valid IP address or CIDR network.

Download (KB/s)

The maximum download rate, in kilobytes per second, for traffic matching the source. A value of 0 means unlimited.

Upload (KB/s)

The maximum upload rate, in kilobytes per second, for traffic matching the source. A value of 0 means unlimited.

Save the dialog to add the limit to the list.

Editing a limit

Use the pencil action at the end of a row to reopen the editor for that limit with its current values. Save to apply your changes.

Removing a limit

Use the trash action at the end of a row to remove a limit. A confirmation prompt names the source before the limit is deleted.
