I remember trying to set one up before and one of the issues I had was trying to limit the number of inbound connections.

edit: by connections, I am referring to the number of peers connected at one time

    Can you clarify that you really want to limit the number of inbound connections instead of the amount of inbound traffic? https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/1125/does-each-node-have-a-maximum-number-of-peers – 254123179 Nov 11 '16 at 00:28

monerod currently can only be set to limit outgoing connections with the parameter --out-peers where the default is 8.

So if you setup your node to be reachable for the public, you can't limit incoming connections. However, you could use a firewall like iptables to limit incoming connections on your public port.
