I am running an up to date version of OpnSense with ZenArmor installed. When I try to access ZenArmor Dashboard I get a spinning circle signifying an attempt to open. Patience is not paying off and nothing seems to happen even after several minutes (10+). As I am unable to access the gui is there any command line suggestions to try?

Hardware and Performance / Re: Speed throughput

Welcome all. Glad to see this discussion.

I have moved back to my Protectli FW4A-0 running an Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU E3845 @ 1.91GHz (4 cores, 4 threads) with 8Gb RAM. My WAN connection is DHCP from the ISP modem (that is default setup as a bridge.) Currently I have 802 Mbps down. (Not to concerned with my up speed of 39.6 Mbps.)

I can nbow see that my issue was hardware related and moving back to the FW4A-0 has resolved my dissatifaction.

Thanks erveybody. Your thought helped me. (I consider my part of this decision closed.)

Hardware and Performance / Speed throughput
November 10, 2023, 11:58:37 PM
My ISP provides service at 1Gb. I have tested with my laptop connected to their modem and speed reports are in the 1Gb range. Great! Enter OPNsense (23.7.8) the mimugmail repository provides a speedtest plugin. That plugin is reporting 200Mbps. When I run 'speedtest-cli' from the commend line I am getting 108.63 Mbit/s. Clearly tuning is required to improve this speed.

My OPNsense is running on a Protectli box (FW4) with an Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU J3060 @ 1.60GHz (2 cores, 2 threads). Searching the web yields little to nothing to assist a BSD novice like myself. (Years of Linux experience and I have a touch of BSD experience however not enough for this issue I am tackling.) This is a home network not commercial. But please understand that the bottleneck appears to be OPNsense. I found this, https://binaryimpulse.com/2022/11/opnsense-performance-tuning-for-multi-gigabit-internet/ but stopped when he began discussing a 24-core cpu. And it is an article from 2022. Since then, there has been several OPNsense version upgrades. So far, I have not found any helpful info that is at home network or SOHO network level of use. Where can I find the info I need to improve my ISP speed throughput?
