Hardware and Performance / Re: Running OPNSense in VM, what am i doing wrong?

No i havent tried that, its just obvious to me that im doing something wrong.
Ive tried hyper-v, vmware player and virtualbox with pfsense, opnsense and openwrt, even ubuntu on a live-USB and they all give 2-3-400mbit, with not much cpu usage, so im doing something wrong

Hardware and Performance / Running OPNSense in VM, what am i doing wrong?

« on: August 11, 2020, 06:51:05 pm »

Hello all,

So first off, heres my hardware:
3900x ryzen
64GB ram
PCIe 4.0 nvme SSD

I have 1000/1000mbps WAN connection, using Wireguard in Windows.
From what ive been told after asking on reddit etc, Wireguard for Windows is userspace, wireguard-go. What this equates to is not being able to use 1000/1000 at the same time.

I was wondering why i cant get 1000/1000 full duplex, bidirectional speeds, so download+upload simultaneously, and thats the answer ive got.

So now im on the hunt for another solution to this and have been trying out openwrt, pfsense, opnsense etc in a virtual environment, and i think opnsense is the winner.

However ive tried Hyper-V, vmware player and VirtualBox, and all of them give me about 2-300mbps even without VPN active? Regardless of how many CPUs i give it.

Clearly im doing something wrong or missing something.

My environment is asus router -> clients. Easy, simple.
However when ive been trying out these things ive been running the virtual/bridged LAN-port on another subnet.

All i want really is for all traffic from my PC to go through a VM/Hardware router that handles encryption/decryption, so a vpn gateway i guess.

Im not running a wireguard server but a client to VPN provider mullvad, which can deliver 1000/1000 (ive tried it many times on ubuntu live-USB while troubleshooting).

I work in IT but networking isnt my speciality, however i consider myself sortof savvy on a basic level.

Any tips?

Hardware and Performance / Wireguard performance OPNSense?

So im asking because im looking for a routeros that handles gbit/gbit at the same time, bidirectional.
Im currently using the Windows client and it cant, because its user-space and written in go ive been reading.

So assuming the hardware isnt the limit, is this possible?
Im also reading freeBSD will be getting wireguard in the kernel at some point, any news on this?
Excellent firewall btw

Thanks
