Traffic shaping L2TP/IPsec VPN (via accounts not connection)
- by Cromulent
I need to be able to control the amount of bandwidth a specific user account can use on a VPN connection. One account I want to be able to use the VPN with no restrictions and another account I want to limit to a reasonable amount of bandwidth (say 10GB or so a month).
I'm aware that you can traffic shape individual connections but that does not quite solve the problem as the limited account can just disconnect and reconnect to get a new connection. I need to be able to limit bandwidth on a login basis for a given period of time (monthly limit).
I'm really not that familiar with traffic shaping in general so any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.
