Hardware and Performance / Re: OPNSENSE and RealTek-NIC

You need to re-baseline and just run the performance tests with Sensei disabled and no other IPS/IDS packages running. If you have a traffic shaper configured, turn that off too.
Then re-run a download test with your newest (igb) network adapter and report back the results. I would suggest either using two iperf clients to push traffic through the firewall, or use a single client on the LAN side to download several linux ISOs via torrent. This should max out your connection and give you a good idea of what the max throughput will be.
While doing the above tests, also watch the output of this command at the SSH console: top -aSCHIP
Screenshot the CPU usage of that console when the throughput tests are running.
I will test that and will be back. thnx 4 the ideas.
