Question about traffic shaping

Hi eclipse79,

Thank you for reaching out to Sophos Community.

Let me ensure I understand you. You have created a traffic-shaping policy. However, have you still not applied it to the firewall rule? kindly correct me if I misunderstood.

You need to apply it for a specific Firewall Rule Shaping Policy.

Kindly check the following KB for further explanation on how to apply

• Traffic shaping
•  Sophos Firewall: How to Configure QoS and understanding the conceptual difference between the shared and individual 

I currently have problems limiting the speed for certain applications.

For Google Drive, for example, I was able to limit the upload but the download is not limited, even blocking the QUIC protocol and activating HTTPS decryption in the firewall rule.

For OneDrive I have similar behavior, but it does not limit UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD, with traffic shaping applied in application.

The feature in the Apply application-based traffic shaping policy firewall rule does not work!

Hi Guilherme Silva1,

Thank you for reaching out to Sophos Community.

Please check if the correct Policy/category matches traffic and isn't interfered with by other policies.
