22.1 Legacy Series / IPv6 DNS NAT Port forwarding doesn't appear to work

« on: June 02, 2022, 03:34:24 am »

Has anyone been able to get IPv6 NAT port forwarding to the firewall working? Following a guide I got it working for IPv4 DNS, but not IPv6 DNS even when using the same settings. The IPv6 rule is disabled in screenshots temporarily but it was enabled when I tested it. I'm still working on testing more but I wanted to see if anyone else ran into this

Hardware and Performance / Re: Latency with Tabletop Simulator

« on: May 31, 2022, 05:08:43 am »

I did a clean install and then found the fix for an issue - it was disabling flow control on a per-interface basis using the following system tunables written below (System --> Settings --> Tunables) in the web UI. FC was set to 3 or full, by default. I rebooted after setting the tunables. My guess is that FC being fully enabled dropped frames periodically, manifesting as latency spikes in game.

This might possibly be related to the fact my Intel 10Gb card supports 2.5Gbps and 5Gbps but FreeBSD/Opnsense does not offer those as negotiated speed/duplex options or show it in system output, but that would only be my guess. I was a bit more interested in getting my 2.5Gb firewall up and running than deep diving into low level FreeBSD/Intel driver issues. Also learned that in FreeBSD the driver name is in the interface name, which helped a lot.

Hopefully this helps someone else out in the future!

Hardware and Performance / Re: Latency with Tabletop Simulator

Fixed this problem by upgrading to PFsense. It's a shame, loved the fact that OPNsense seemed to have more features, but if you don't have stability with rock-solid Intel server NICs then it's useless.

Hardware and Performance / Latency with Tabletop Simulator

« on: April 30, 2022, 07:31:18 am »

I get constant latency spikes in Tabletop Simulator and about 3 times so far in a month I have had my firewall drop all packets for up to 30 seconds. Enabling hardware offload makes the latency worse. I am not sure what steps to take next or if I simply have a common problem. Still new to opnsense. I would love to solve this problem as a custom opnsense box is the only way I can get above 1Gbps on my network

I have a HP NC365T and a Lenovo 00MM861 Intel X550-T2 Dual Port 10GBase-T Adapter running in a Dell PowerEdge T30

This thread discussed performance tuning but not with my specific hardware. The part about pause frames was particularly interesting, that seemed to line up with my problem

This page also mentioned how to do low-level BSD tuning but I don't know if that is handled at a different level for opnsense.

Hardware and Performance / Looking for cheap 10G cards

« on: March 06, 2022, 01:30:47 pm »

I'm running opnsense on a dedicated server and I'd like recommendations for a cheap NIC that can do 10G fiber and also copper 10G, 5G, and 2.5G. It's likely going to need to be a two SFP+ port card.

I found the BCM57711 from the latest FreeBSD Hardware Notes at https://www.freebsd.org/releases/13.0R/hardware/ but I'm not sure if that is the correct card - the one I found is showing as the Broadcom BCM57711 but the list says QLogic BCM57711. I know QLogic and Broadcom did a deal at some point so that could be why the company name changed.
 
I'm also not sure how to check SFP compatibility other than just randomly googling it and hoping to stumble across what I need. I'd like to know beforehand everything will work and then just boot up Opnsense with no issues and not have to deal with eBay returns
