UTM 9 How to restrict bandwidth to save data quota

chirath Siriwardena

Hi All. 

I'm new to this forum. I have installed UTM 9 to a Mini PC with an atom 1.8 processor with 4 GB memory and looks it's ok. please let me know the best spect for the UTM 9 home version which is installed on a Desktop.

My question is how can I restrict the bandwidth usage via this UTM 9. i have 50GB quota from my ISP and my kids are watching youtube kids for 2-4 hours daily and in most of the cases, the quota will be finished before and month end.

I have already configured QOS on this and select 64Kb on bandwidth throttling. but it seems not a correct method. can someone help me to do this, please

Thank you 

Chirath

    Hello Chirath,

    Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community!

    For youtube try the following:

    1.- Go to Interfaces & Routing >> QoS >> Status, and enable for your LAN and WAN interface (for LAN I mean the Port where the computer is connecting from)

    2.- G to traffic selectors >> New Traffic Selector >> Name = Youtube, Selector type = Application Selector, Source = Any, Destination = Any, Control by = Applications >> Control this applications (click on the yellow folder and search for Youtube) >> Save

    3.- Go to Download Throttling >> New download throttling Name = Youtube_throttling, Interface, LAN would be grayed out, Postion = Top, Limit, set the limit on kbit/s  Limit, = shared >> Traffic Selector = Youtube. >> Save.

    You can complement this, by also using quotas and only allow youtube for X amount of hours a day or from specific times of the day!

    Regards,
