This howto

https://mysupport.zyxel.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010431759--ZyWALL-USG-How-to-configure-BWM-QoS-on-Zyxel-firewalls

reports how to configure specifically VoIP/SIP rule for BWM. Mostly can be replicated with some other considerations for other services/applications/service group.

Fine.

What about create a proper, working and correct rule for VPNs connection? My goal is to reserve some traffic to the connections, slowing other traffic when needed.

Currently I can only reserve traffic in/out/ for in-tunnel application, but if the tunnel is "costrained" by other data flows… i cannot preserve tunnel bandwidth?

I mean.. delay downloads/uploads of file to internet might be lower priority than allow smooth experience on traffic via VPN…

    Hello @mMontana

    Thank you for your further inquiry. May we know if you want to apply Bandwidth Management (BWM) for IPSec/L2TP/VPN-related traffic and prioritize those traffic when you need it?

    I'd love to reserve for a specific tunnel (6 are built, with different gateways) enough bandwidth to have stable dehaviour.

    If not possible the single tunnel, at least the gateway.
