23.1 Legacy Series / Re: irregular slow http(s) connections -- how to find root cause?

« on: May 24, 2023, 06:49:59 pm »

I have had the same problem for some time, and also the same temporary solution. I thought it had something to with cache, memory, logs etc. But i think I solved it by turning on PowerD. All settings are set to HiAdaptive. It was turned off by default.

It has been running for 2 weeks now without any issues, no reboots. Something which wasn't possible before. I hope this helps.

General Discussion / Best practise/performance for a hidden-service.(TOR-plugin)

« on: January 29, 2022, 01:05:35 pm »

I'm working with some journalists who'd like to have a safe work environment using TOR.
It is possible to do it in 2 ways with the help of Opnsense.

First is using the transparent-proxy option and have a webserver behind it running TOR as well.
Second is using the hidden-service option and behind it just the webserver.

The first option would also allow to have all their wifi/networking behind TOR, but I do not know whether it would hurt the performance of the webserver much having to go through TOR twice.

The second option would be the "standard" solution but it would also mean having TOR setup on all their devices seperatly, or using a second router as a transparent TOR proxy.

Does anyone know if the first option would be useable performance wise?

Hardware and Performance / Re: Download limited at 100mbit. Upload unlimited. Would like help figuring out why.

« on: September 14, 2021, 11:54:37 am »

I found the problem.

It's ISP side.

A while back we had connection issues and the ISP set our IP to the MAC. I created a new WAN with a Realtek NIC and the problem is gone. Changed it back to the Intel NIC and I have my old IP again, despite flush/renew/release. WAN configuration is DHCP btw.

Send a message to my ISP and we will see. I could also switch the LAN and WAN ports on the Intel NIC. Should also solve the problem.

Hardware and Performance / Download limited at 100mbit. Upload unlimited. Would like help figuring out why.

« on: September 14, 2021, 10:11:45 am »

Hello all,

I have upgraded from 100mbit to 1gbit internet. As the title states I am having problems understanding why the download speeds are limited at 100mbit.

My ISP tells me they can see the connection as solid 1000/1000mbit. I have tested speeds on windows and linux systems, and all have the same issue.

Suricata is disabled, ClamAV is disabled, there is no traffic shaping active.

OPNsense 21.7.2_1-amd64
FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p20-HBSD
LibreSSL 3.3.4

I've been at it for 2 days now, but I'm out of ideas. Is my ISP lying or am I too dumb? I hope someone has some suggestions on what I might be able to test to prove either way.

General Discussion / os-tor Ability to create an onion v3 service?

« on: August 22, 2018, 10:46:51 am »

Using opnsense OPNsense 18.7.1_3-amd64 with the os-tor 1.6 plugin.

When creating an onion service, it is a v2. The current tor version of the plugin is 0.3.3.9, which supports the v3 services. Is there a way to switch from v2 to v3, or the option to make v3 the default when creating an onion service?

Maybe I'm overlooking something, my apologies if that's the case
