Playing around with this it seems that almost any setting changed anywhere in opnsense let's this function again for about 10 minutes. There is something definitely timing out with the traffic shaper.

Ok so i've been running opnsense for a bit now without issue. Been working great up until last night. I do alot of VR gaming and noticed alot of lag. Started looking at numbers and I was getting some big latency. I have gig. internet and had a couple pipes setup to bring those numbers down. Apparently not working anymore. So I re-did the settings. Worked again. 10 minutes later I had full speed and big latency. Messed around with it for a bit and decided to update. So now I'm on the latest version. Same thing is happening. I have set pipes and rules up for a specific IP address and for it to be network wide. Either way when it works it does what I need it to do. Only seems to work for 10 minutes or so. In the UI I see no indication that it has stopped working though. These are the settings I currently have. And they did work just fine for a little while just like any of the other settings I've tried.

Ok I feel like this has been asked many times so my apologies. I'm building a router from a Dell precision t1700 sff PC. What I have gathered right now for it is a xeon e3-1246v3 CPU (3.5-3.9ghz quad core) 16gb ecc memory, 500gb sata SSD, Intel x540-t2 nic. Bought all those components separately as I buy those t1700s as barebones. I plan on having 10gbe lan through the house in the next year just not happening today. But for right now I'd like to make sure I can get full throughput 1gbps up and down through my isp. Now all I've found is that the x540-t2 has issues with pfsense, can't find anything to tell me for opnsense. I'm also planning on using a VPN provider such as nord or expressvpn for alot of traffic. I know that I'll be at the mercy of whatever speed they can provide but I'd like there to be no bottleneck on my end. Right now my internet usage is close to 2Tb a month. After this is all setup I'm going to have a "server" moved over to my house and I expect that number to double. So if someone can tell me anything on nics, ram, hardware acceleration, wireguard, OpenVPN, VPN providers , ect. It would be greatly appreciated.
