Hi Team I am trying to limit one of my tinc nodes to only consume 100Kbps bandwidth (Send and Receive). I am not sure if I am setting the right option under its main configuration file (tinc.conf) . Will these options serve my purpose? I have set them up but the Tunnel Adapter (running on Windows) still consumes all the bandwidth available. ===============UDPRcvBuf = 12500 UDPSndBuf = 12500 =============== Regards Yazeed <yazeedfataar at hotmail.com> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There is no bandwidth limiting feature in tinc. You can use other programs to do this for you. For Windows, have a look at this page: https://superuser.com/questions/135719/how-can-i-limit-bandwidth-of-other-programs Also, in general you can only control your outgoing bandwidth. -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <guus at tinc-vpn.org> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
