Not sure if Tomato offers that as my router is unsupported so never played with it. |

Yes you will need to install NetLimiter each of your machines (1-4). You can install Logmein or Teamviewer on them to access them remotely but I don't think theres a function on NetLimiter to modify values remotely.
