CT: control Internet bandwidth ONLY

[tommyv]

Hello,

I have a limited VDSL connection, so I'd like to limit only Internet bandwidth within a container while letting the local network throughput unlimited.

Is that possible ?

Thanks in advance

Hi, yes you can bandwidth limit the containers virtual interface using tools like tc https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/tc.8.html or wondershaper https://github.com/magnific0/wondershaper

Edit: Okay, maybe wondershaper is not capable of filtering traffic based on destination IP, so you will have to use tc (wondershaper is actually just a userfriendly wrapper/scripts for tc)

Another way might be to define a second virtual interface for inet traffic only and route all non-local traffic trough there while rate limiting that interface.

When you edit the Network settings for the Containers NIC you should be able to set a bandwidth limit. If you only want the bandwidth limit for connections to the internet and not within your network itself, you will need to configure that on your router.

Thank you all, configured it on the router.
