@BrutalBirdie True. We can place soft limits in the APK file by attaching some sort of account management via API. That would be messy though. We would like to throttle overall speed OR limit bandwidth over time, per user. If these are not an option then manual monitoring of all accounts from one interface would work. We can then simply assign a set number of users on each pipe and be done with it.

@BrutalBirdie Hello BB. Yes you are correct. We are giving the service away but we need to place limits to prevent some users from hogging the pipe.

Hello. We are looking to put safeguards in place per OpenVPN user. Does anyone know if its possible to perform any of the following?

1. Limit bandwidth per user
2. Limit data by GB per user
3. View data usage per day, week or month. per user
4. Show all connected devices from all accounts from one interface?

Thanks for the effort. I agree that global restrictions will help. The ideal solution will be account level restrictions OR notification of spikes so we can quickly identify the problem account. The goal is to limit the need for full time monitoring.

Thanks for the replies.

@girish. We plan on having hundred of users on a dedicated mail server. At least one of these accounts will abuse mail privileges at some point. Currently a user can send out tens of thousands of emails on the SMTP level without restriction. This can cause the mail server IP's to be banned affecting the deliverability of other account holder sends. Swapping out an IP sucks. We are able to put some restrictions in using RoundCube but they can be bypassed with a skilled email marketing company.

We would love to see some basic outbound email limitations put in place. At the very least limiting the number of outbound emails per hour, per user account. Even if its 100 per hour it will offer some protection to the site owner.

Some sort of notification would work as well. Emailing/texting admin if a user sends more than XX emails in a 15 minute period.

I hope this clarifies. We have been searching for a solution fro 4 days now. It just doesn't exist.

I would love to see some sort of per user outbound email safeguards put in place. Limitations such as XX per hour, XX per minute, per user. OR Near immediate notification of problem accounts sending bulk emails. This is done to protect IP registration.
