Zenarmor (Sensei) / Extreme reduction of bandwidth on 100Mbit line
« on: April 17, 2024, 01:45:51 pm »
Hello,
I installed the Zenarmor plugin in a well working VM installation of Opnsense.
The host is the following Windows 11 PC:
- Intel Core i7 12700
- 128 GB RAM
- Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (17) I219-LM
- Micron 3400 NVMe 1TB
- ST2000DM008-2UB02 (actually the VM is installed on this HDD)
The OPNSense VM has a static IP and is performing basic functions:
- acts as Internet gateway for internal network
- a few nat port-forwarding
- traffic shaping for some internal IPs
Following the details of the VM:
- last version (7.0.14) of Virtualbox Hypervisor
- 16 GB RAM
- 500 GB HDD space
- one core (tried 4 core but had only stability problems) assigned to the VM
- two Intel PRO/1000 MT desktop network cards in bridge mode, every card has its internal IP
When there is no ZenArmor i can obtain all the 100Mbit up/down bandwidth.
When ZenArmor (free) is installed (doesn't seem netmap mode matters, I tried all the option) I barely reach 20 MBit in both directions.
This behaviour even stopping / bypassyng ZenArmor.
Uninstalling ZenArmor revert the system to full bandwidth.
If someone could give advice on how to proceed it's be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
