I am using wondershaper to limit download upload speed. What it does is, it limits download but then it blocks upload. I have an 1 gbit connection and I want to limit it's download speed to 500 mbps and upload speed to 500 mbps.

The command I'm using for this is: 

wondershaper eth0 9798 9790

Here is the link to my config: http://pastebin.com/WBqj1H1Y

I have tried to change the numbers but still upload is blocked for some reason.

Your command syntax looks wrong. To limit download and upload speed on interface eth0 to 512 Kbps try this:

wondershaper -a eth0 -d 512 -u 512

If I had to guess, I'd guess you were using a very old wondershaper - this is something that just caused me a problem. Ubuntu/Debian distros include wondershaper 1.1 which uses the command-line you displayed, while the first answer from Diamant are based off what appears to be a more modern version.

There are open issues related to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wondershaper

...but as of Ubuntu 18.04LTS, the packaged wondershaper does not work correctly out of the box so you have to go direct to the github repo from magnific0

  • Yes, just grab it from Github instead of using old Ubuntu/Debian distros
