I have a setup where uisers connect by VPN and are given IP addresses in the
range 10.8.0.xxx
I would like to limit their bandwidth to 1.5Mbps per IP address. However, I
don't want to limit the incoming connection.
For example, they access the VPN server by it's WAN IP 200.xx.xx.xx and are
given a local IP of 10.0.8.x
User 1 goes to www.youtube.com and starts streaming videos, this should be
limited to 1.5Mbps.
User 2 goes to www.youtube.com and starts downloading a video, this should
also be limited to 1.5Mbps but the
server connection to youtube should have unlimited bandwidth to allow for
multiple users, in this sinstance at least 3Mbps.
I tried the tc example below but am not sure whether I should apply the
filter to the tun0 network 10.0.8x or to the entire iptables connections.
#!/bin/bash

# tc uses the following units when passed as a parameter.
# kbps: Kilobytes per second
# mbps: Megabytes per second
# kbit: Kilobits per second
# mbit: Megabits per second
# bps: Bytes per second
# Amounts of data can be specified in:
# kb or k: Kilobytes
# mb or m: Megabytes
# mbit: Megabits
# kbit: Kilobits
# To get the byte figure from bits, divide the number by 8 bit

# Name of the traffic control command.
