Can not apply QoS when enable Web Filtering?

I'm just wondering if you are thinking about this in the opposite way ie you are trying to throttle the web users instead of guaranteeing the web server x amount of bandwidth?

I've not tried it but in there under bandwidth pools, it states that it should work like that.

Hi Louis,

Bandwidth pool is actually for guaranteeing upload speed, not download.

As I suggested above, use 'Internet -> HTTP Response -> External (Address)' as the Traffic Selector in your Download Throttling rule instead of 'Any -> Any -> {Internal users network group}'.

Thank you, Bob. This works great. 

You also mentioned above to apply a QoS rule for bandwidth pool with https response. Is this to guarantee the upload or download speed?

Thanks!

Bandwidth Pools act only on traffic leaving an interface, so the Pool I suggested would guarantee bandwidth to the response traffic leaving your servers.
