Bandwidth Quota additional functionality
Posted: Mon Dec 31, 2018 4:25 pm
Hello, I wasn't sure of a concise way of describing what I am looking to do for the Subject.
I've been running into issues with the household running over the monthly bandwidth limits imposed by the ISP (Comcast) and I've been looking for a way to impose limits to prevent overage fees and it looks like Gargoyle is the best solution to do this. Comcast allows 1TB of bandwidth per month so if I were to impose a daily limit of 30gb I should stay under that limit.
The one thing that would be great if it could do would be to have what I guess could be described as a dynamic quota. So basically every day at say midnight, 30gb (user adjustable) is added into a pool and usage is subtracted from that pool. So on day 1 if only 10gb is used, then the next day the pool would have 50gb in it and so on with the WAN getting disabled if the pool ever hits 0. And then at the end of the month the pool resets.
I hope that makes sense and I'm not sure if it is doable but I figured I'd ask.
