Setting up surfing quota policy for network group

Hello,

I want to setup and implement a policy for a maximum amount of hours a day internet connection for a group of network devices, based on static network entries. We are not using not users/groups on out networks because that's to much hassle and we don't people to login all the time. Is it possible to setup such policy for a for a network or mac address group on UTM 9?

It should be possible by using separate Web Filter Profile for selected Network Definition objects, Policy for ANY and new Filter Action that blocks all of the content except ALL (custom defined category) that includes all of the 100+ subcategories.

User wise quota is not possible in UTM 9.

Thanks

I think I understand now, Sachin, that there's a bit of confusion between "per user" or "user wise" and "by user name." Certainly, you are correct that you can only make rules for a user name in Web Filtering. You can effectively achieve "per user" limitations in QoS by making a "per IP" selection in the Traffic Selector definition. English can have some subtle traps in terminology.

Hi,

Language can be deceiving. Technically, User(s) cannot be compared with an IP address, because IP address association can change after the end of a periodic DHCP lease time. But again, if we treat the post to be addressed for a user in conjunction with an IP address, QoS is possible!

Thanks
