I first tried to use the "Single Wan multi Lan" wizard, but it just kept saying "You do not have X of local interfaces!", and it doesn't matter what number I put in for X. I'm using a typical LAN --> pfSense --> WAN configuration (this may be a separate bug). I then tried the "Single Lan multi Wan" wizard, which allowed me to proceed. It didn't produce the result I was hoping to get (everything slowed to 15 KB/s), so I deleted the new stuff it added to this page:

https://192.168.1.1/firewall_shaper.php

I then reset the states table but that did not work. I then rebooted, and that did not work either. I performed a backup here:

https://192.168.1.1/diag_backup.php

I examined the XML file it produced, and I found this near the bottom, which probably should not have been there after the new traffic shaper config stuff was deleted:

<ezshaper>
<step1>
<numberofconnections>1</numberofconnections>
</step1>
<step2>
<downloadscheduler>PRIQ</downloadscheduler>
<conn0uploadscheduler>PRIQ</conn0uploadscheduler>
<conn0upload>2</conn0upload>
<conn0uploadspeed>Mb</conn0uploadspeed>
<conn0download>450</conn0download>
<conn0downloadspeed>Kb</conn0downloadspeed>
<conn0interface>wan</conn0interface>
</step2>
<step3>
<provider>Generic</provider>
</step3>
<step4>
<enable>on</enable>
<bandwidthunit>%</bandwidthunit>
<address>192.168.1.1</address>
<bandwidth>15</bandwidth>
</step4>
</ezshaper>

I tried manually deleting that section and then restoring the only the "Traffic Shaper" "area", but it complained that it couldn't locate the correct tag. Then, I tried replacing the section with an <ezshaper/> self-closing tag in the XML file, and that worked. However, the bandwidth was still throttled back to 15 KB/s. I've run out of ideas at this point, but I think I've isolated the bug(s) enough that they can be repeated. Let me know if you need more info. I've saved the XML backup file, and I can post more data from it if necessary.

I searched the site for other bugs using the phrase "traffic shaper wizard", but I did not find anything like what I've written above:

Let me know if the "You do not have X of local interfaces!" issue is a separate bug, and I'll post it. Otherwise, I'm going to assume for now that it's related to this bug, but I'm just making an arbitrary decision about it without actually knowing.

I posted this bug as "Normal" priority, but I suspect it might be worthy of an upgrade.
