Bandwidth shaping with multiple network cards   28 January 2025, 21:58

Hello.
Does the BWManager work with multiple network cards?
Example:
When PC has one net card, all rules work well and traffic shaped correctly.
After I install another two net cards into that PC, I check - lightweight filter added on both cards.
Then I add rules and place them on top of the list, but no traffic shaping happens. The rules do not count traffic (received/sent/total fields), no throughput bars present.
I tried to select in the filter only this network interface, change it back to All interfaces - no result.
Really traffic goes through this two added cards, the rules I wrote are right, but the shaper works only on the first old card and doesn't work on another two.

It is possible that one of the earlier rules (listed above the problematic rule) is capturing the traffic, preventing it from reaching the rule you are testing. To resolve this, try creating a new Any-to-Any rule, select a specific network interface, and position it at the top of the ruleset. This should allow you to see some traffic being captured by it.
