I had something like that,
It stopped after
```
Stopping configd...done
```

But after a "reboot" and an upgrade thru ssh(console) things got done :)

Hi,

I can confirm that for me it was slow hardware.

I changed to `Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 cores) and 32G memory`
And now I can utilize all bandwidth..

Perhaps it is somewhat overkill, but it works :)

Will try to enable IPS and such things later.

Hm, this  is a quite old CPU. Maybe the jump from FreeBSD 11 to 12 respects more recent CPUs (Just a guess)

Yeah I agree.
And I have no illusion that I'm going to hit 1G with it :)
I just wanted to chime in that I had the same "problem" / outcome as OP.

But I guess that the newer hardware OP uses had other problems with IPS and such, so I guess that I'm just out of hw for the the latest FreeBSD update :)

Hi Falk,

can you please share info about your system and configuration?

Hi,

Sure, it's nothing exciting :)

Hardware:
Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D525 @ 1.80GHz (2 cores)
https://www.checkfirewalls.com/2200.asp

Config:
No special usage, no IPS, proxy or anything such cool.
I just have use NAT on a 500M/Bits uplink.

I have tried a few "tweaks" from the "internetz" with no luck (no change of performance better/worse).

What kind of more info are you interested of, if it is more sensitive information, perhaps It's better to take it offlist?

So its back to normal or not? I'm not upgrading until it is fixed. I may wait for a point release before I upgrade. 20.7 seems to be full of bugs.

My installation is not up to speed.
I have an pretty weak hw, but speed has gone down with no IPS or such.
And the fixes suggested in this thread has not fixed the performance for me atleast.

Hello,

please always mention if you are using IPS/IDS or Proxy.
It is a total different setup if you make use of that technology or if you are just doing Firewalling/NAT.

The speed and throughput can differ depending on configuration and active ruleset of any IPS/IDS.

Share details so others can verify your setup with their setups.

Regards,

I don't use proxy, ips/ids or anything strange, just normal FW/NAT.

With 20.1 the performance of the hw was just on the limit, but in 20.7 it bogs the cpu almost at half the speed.

Hi,

I have the same issue with my 500/500 connection.
After the update I get ~280M up/down.

I guess that my hw are getting over the edge with this update.

But when doing a iperf3 one of the cores gets bogged down on 100%.
```
  PID USERNAME    PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE    C   TIME    WCPU COMMAND
0 root        -76    -      0   288K CPU1     1   3:13 100.00% [kernel{if_io_tqg_1}]
```
