Title: Zenarmor performance expectation
Post by: jaykumar2005 on May 13, 2026, 09:25:26 AM
I am running OPNsense on Lenovo P330 Intel i5-8500 CPU @ 3.00GHz, with Zenarmor Free tier, with basic default policy with few rules.

My upstream bandwidth is around 1Gbps, get around 900+mbps on interface/VLAN excluded on Zenarmor

The bandwidth I get on Zenarmor monitored VLAN doesn't exceed 650mbps at all

Is this the expected penalty of running a single core single thread zenarmor?

Did someone did a benchmark of Zenarmor performance on different CPU? What is your bandwidth perfomance with zenarmor enabled?
