General Discussion / Re: Slow routing performance for SMB/Samba traffic

« on: October 30, 2020, 10:54:09 am »

Hi,

What is the full model of the NICs are used in your firewall / box?  Feels like some of the driver changes made to the Intel NICs in the recent FBSDs might have something to do with what you're seeing.

General Discussion / Possible to override auto-generated rules?

« on: October 30, 2020, 10:48:56 am »

Hi all,

I like the fact OPNSense can autogenerate rules (i.e. if I use OpenVPN capability, etc) but I want to edit some of the auto generated rules -- is this possible?  I tried but didn't find any obvious way.  I have the firewall rules set to "hybrid".

I keep IPV6 disabled and noticed a number of rules still allow IPV6 traffic (on the WAN for example).  I know I can probably manually clone/create the rules myself, just hoping not to have to do that.

Thank you!

Hardware and Performance / Any issues with i210 / i211 & i350 on OPNSense 20.x ?

« on: October 06, 2020, 05:44:08 pm »

Hi all,

Has anyone experienced any of the issues with Intel NICs in the latest OPNSense (20.x) outlined in this thread?

https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=5511.0

I am looking to implement a new firewall set up with latest version of OPNSense.  I am looking at hardware from guys like Jetway, Qotom, Protectli with newer Kaby Lake processors.  Jetway and Qotom use the i210 / i211 and i350 NICs while the Protectli uses older 82583V.

I would think the newer NICs would be better but that thread has me worried.  That said, seems like Amazon reviews have a lot of people using PFSense or OPNSense on the Qotom which lead me to believe the i210 / i350 issues have been sorted out, or Wener (poster in the thread above) was running into issues with the particular Jetway hardware.
