Hi all
I'm looking for some help setting up traffic shaping on my internet connection. I have a bit of an odd setup in that I run a remote VPN server that all of my traffic is pushed through and out on to the internet. As I understand generally it isn't possible to shape incoming traffic but as I have control of the VPN server which pushes the traffic to me I wondered if it was possible to implement something on that side? No traffic other than the VPN tunnel goes out of my home connection.
I'm trying to do this because I have a service running on one of my home machines that requires around 5kbps constantly with low latency (<200ms), but as my home connection is 750kbps it gets saturated very quickly causing huge spikes in latency. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could achieve this? Generally any pointers at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time
Oliver
