Identity Rules

Overview

The Identity Rules tab allows you to define bandwidth policies based on user identity or profiles rather than just IP/port-based matching.

This is especially useful for:

• Assigning bandwidth per user group (e.g., employees, guests)

• Controlling WAN usage dynamically

• Managing multi-WAN bandwidth distribution (e.g., 5G, Starlink)

To access Identity Rules:

Dashboard → Firewall → Identity Rules

You will see:

• A list of existing identity rules (left panel)

• A configuration panel to create/edit rules

• A “+ Add Rule” button
