Problem/issue I have: the WAN speed under Pfsense on EXSI is too low. My WAN speed should be nearly 1000Mbps. Without the Pfsense router I am getting somewhere between 960-980Mbps.
I have been using Pfsense as my home network router and firewall for a long time. I haven't really looked deeper into this problem that I have for a long time. I have done many online search about this topic and tried different ways including "Disable hardware TCP segmentation offload", "Disable hardware large receive offload" in Advanced --> Network Interfaces. I also tried E1000 and VMXNET3. They don't help. I don't have suricata installed. Now I don't have a clue what the real problem is ...
My current hardware/software is:
Supermicro A1SAi-2750F - Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C2750 @ 2.40GHz
32GB RAM
I use 2 Nic ports of the 4, one as WAN and the other as LAN
Pfsense 2.5.2
EXSI 6.5
Anyone can shed some lights on this? Is it the common problem of running Pfsense on VM and cannot be easily fixed?
