Virtual private networks / GL.inet - OPNsense Wireguard VPN Slow
« on: June 03, 2023, 05:19:49 pm »
Good afternoon,
I have installed a GL.inet Brume 2 / GL-MT2500 router.
According to the manufacturer, in client mode Wireguard can reach speeds of 500mb/s. https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt2500/
On the other end, I have an Opnsense 23.1.9, installed on a physical server with 128GB Ram, Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4316 CPU @ 2.30GHz (20 cores, 40 threads).
I have managed to configure the wireguard tunnel successfully and there is traffic between the local and remote network.
The main problem is the speed of the tunnel, it barely reaches +-30mb/s over a 1GB/s optical fiber. I have been modifying the MTU's and I can't find the parameter that can increase the speed.
Can you tell me what I can check to optimize the maximum speed?
I need to be able to create tunnels with a minimum speed of 180mb/s approximately.
If you need any extra details, I will be happy to send them to you.
Thank you very much.
