Title: Much slower speed on DEC2750 vs Linux VM
Post by: craig on May 09, 2024, 05:39:27 PM
I've been getting much lower speeds when running speedtest on my DEC2750 vs a Linux VM (ultimately connected to the DEC2750).

Included speedtests from each below, was wondering if anyone else had experienced this, and what was the cause?

Guessing from your earlier posts, you have traffic shaping enabled. See this (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=23339.msg197347#msg197347).

Also, if you did not enable RSS on OpnSense itself, it may well be that its original speeds are not as much optimized as the through traffic it just routes.
