Resurecting this as I have tried playing with Powerd some more.

With Powerd enabled and set at Adaptive, my cpu temperateres are higher than when I disable Powerd (Powerd off and Powerd set to Minimum seem to be the same).
Is that normal/correct?

Using command Powerd -v in ssh, I can see the cpu goes to 1001MHz (base clock +1MHz)  regardless if Powerd is on or off.
I was expecting temps to be higher with Powerd off so just curious.

Thanks

Hi,
I struggled with a similar problem. https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=42125 and check that you have enabled c-states in the BIOS.

After a few reboots and uninstallation of the intel-ipsec-mb package and its tunabled the speeds are back... All other settings are the same.
Tanks for your time @DEC670airp414user

Now I have tested with MTU 1412 and it doesn't get any better. I even uninstalled the intel-ipsec-mb package but it didn't matter. Have tried both Mullvad and Proton, two different companies and servers.
Speedtests that are going outside the tunnels gives me the expected speed and no package loss at the wan interface.

Hi!
I use MTU 1420, set in Wireguard > Instances. I have tried 1280 but the packet loss did still exist. https://mullvad.net/en/help/wireguard-and-mullvad-vpn
Max mss 1380, set in Normalization. I have tried to disable this but it doesn't help.
CPU = i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz (4 cores, 4 threads)
When I utilize the Mullvad tunnel I also get packet loss at the Proton tunnel even when it is not used.
Please see the attached screenshots.

Hi,
I've been running a WG tunnel to Mullvad for over a year now without any problems. Great speed but it's capped to 70MB/s.
Now I noticed that I only get up to around 10MB/s and I see alot of packet loss.
I have followed the guides provided by opnsense.
https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/wireguard-client-mullvad.html
https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/wireguard-selective-routing.html

I have even tried to create a new tunnel to ProtonVPN and I see the same issues with that tunnel. So I guess that the problem is somewhere in my setup...

What could be wrong and how do I troubleshoot this?

And if you are lazy like me..
https://calculat.io/en/number/dec-to-bin/2
Use the bit position...

What to set for a 2 core system?

ok, now the hwpstate_intel (hint.hwpstate_intel.0.disabled =1) is disabled and powerd enabled.

I would suggest going through all the system bios options. Start with a reset to default to have a baseline and go from there. Possibly power management is currently disabled. Unfortunately, Qotom seems to have a tendency to leave each and every possible bios option visible, so this may be quite laborious.

In System - Settings - Miscellaneous, have you enabled 'powerd' and selected an appropriate governor (adaptive or high adaptive)?

I have now tried many settings in the bios but it seem to not help.
Could it be that the CPU doesent support "hwpstate_intel" (Intel Speed Shift Technology driver) and I need to disable it in OPNS?

Hi,
How will the manual setup work/coexist with the new plugin?

Hi,
I have a Intel i7 5550U that seems to be stuck at 2001mhz even when the system are idling. The temperature are always very high, around ~80C.
Its a Qotom hw, Q5500UG4-P V1.1 with the latest BIOS (2024-01-02).

Hi,

I'm struggeling with the tcp_outgoing_address parameter, i cant get it to work. I have a working wireguard (road worrior setup) connection and a working squid proxy but when I add the tcp_outgoing_address parameter all the connections through the proxy time out.
Do I need any new routes or fw-rules to get this working?

It's an upstream issue with Suricata 7.0.3, but it shouldn't matter much. https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/7260

ok, thank you.

Hi,
After the update to 24.1.2 I noticed these entries in the suricata logs. Is it a misconfiguration from my side, do I need to do any thing about these errors.
