High availability / Re: With Load Balancing, low performance and loss of the Web session
« on: February 09, 2024, 06:14:14 am »I followed both the official documentation and various online guides to configure a Load Balancing on two lines with identical characteristics.
I also read several posts in the forum.
Nonetheless, I have low performance and often a web session is interrupted or a page is not reachable.
....
The changes do not seem decisive to me.
What am I doing wrong?
One thing I see missing from your post are the hardware specifications, including particularly the NICs (ethernet network controller type(s)) for your Opnsense box or instance.
It's my understanding that not all NICs are equally-well engineered at the hardware level, nor are they all equally-well-supported by freeBSD at the driver level.
Not a NIC or an Opnsense guru but it'd be a useful piece of additional info.
I suggest installing the "HWprobe" plugin (just 2 MB disk space, installed, does not run as a service, only on demand.)
NOTE: Using this plugin submits a well-anonymized complete hardware profile of your Opnsense system to a public web server. See examples here: https://bsd-hardware.info/?view=timeline before you run it on your machine, so you understand what is gathered and what will be posted. Sensitive info like IP addresses, network device MAC addresses, storage device serial #s, etc. are removed from the results automatically.
System --> Firmware --> Plugins -->
Type "os-hw-probe" in the search field, then click the "+" to install the plugin.
Once installed, reload your browser window, and go to:
Services --> HW Probe --> Generate
In about 5 or 10 seconds, without any prompts or status messages, it will generate and publish your machine's anonymized hardware profile. Here's one of mine, for example:
https://bsd-hardware.info/?probe=2741a6da81
After you carefully review your HWprobe results URL to be satisfied that it in fact is anonymized (no IP addresses, domain names, usernames, hashes, etc. in it), consider sharing it in your problem-report/request posts.
