Limiting number of connections
If your users are generating excess traffic (for instance - a quantity of torrent sessions), you can create a «Limit number of connections» rule. To achieve this select «Add → Limit number of connections» in the user or group setting.
Also, you can specify a direction of the rule, protocol, port source and working time limits.

| type | action |
|---|---|
| for each profile | The rule is applied to whole object meaning that summary of all download traffic of all users within the group could not exceed defined one in the rule |
| for each user | Applied to group. Using this limiting type each user of the group is bound by traffic limitation equal to defined one in the rule |
| for each IP address | Applied to group or user. Using this type each host in the Local Area Network with IP address (set to user in a group) is bound speed limit equal to denied in the rule. |
