Re: [lime-users] Transparent proxy -- traffic shaping

I see there's also Smart Queue Management (SQM), which is another type of QoS that's incompatible with luci-app-qos: https://lede-project.org/docs/user-guide/sqm I wonder which one is more useful for our network. They both sound relevant for the way we want to regulate access to our network -- one queue for people who contribute to the network, and a slower queue for people who don't. looking around more, I found a page about using the firewall, and that sounds the easiest for blocking access to particular websites: https://lede-project.org/docs/user-guide/parental-controls OUR NETWORK: rest of Internet | Modem/Router in Cabin | | | Cabin residents | (Ubiquiti antennas) | Caimito (LibreMesh) There's 5 Mb/s 2 Mb/s DSL connection with 1:8 sharing (compartición) at the cabin, and when the connection gets slow there, sometimes the owner unplugs our cable from the modem/router to see if his download goes faster. We want to calm down that guy so he stops unplugging our connection! If we show him that we're blocking YouTube, that might be enough for him. Maybe we can make a traffic queue for YouTube that slows it down without blocking it, but I think that might make the congestion worse at the cabin, because YouTube would send data at full speed to the modem/router, across the Ubiquiti antennas, and then get slowed down when it gets to our LibreMesh gateway router in Caimito. So maybe it would congest the modem/router? Maybe it would congest the buffer in the LibreMesh router, but surely QoS and SQM doesn't work that way. Anyone know? Looking through LEDE packages for "trigger" and "email", I see a few things that might be part of a solution... but maybe it's easier to trigger it through pushing a button on a webpage instead of sending an email.
